Gerson Chacon makes a successful return to AEK Larnaca

Venezuelan footballer Gerson Chacon has made a successful return to AEK Larnaca after recovering from a severe injury. The player had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear on October 23, 2025, during an away match against Crystal Palace in London, which forced him to miss nearly the entire previous season.

Following a recovery period of 310 days, Chacon returned to official competition during the opening match of the current league season against APOEL. Coming off the bench, he demonstrated his fitness and quality by scoring a goal in the 80th minute. Reports from subsequent matches indicate that he has continued his strong form, accumulating two goals in just 57 total minutes of play since his return, signaling his importance to the team's ambitions for the ongoing season.
