Aris Limassol faces challenges after poor start to the season

Aris Limassol is currently navigating a difficult period, having secured only five points from their first four matches of the season. This performance marks the team's poorest start since the 2017-18 season, standing in stark contrast to their ambition of contending for the league title under head coach Artsyom Radzkov. Analysts attribute the lack of offensive cohesion to significant roster changes and the absence of key players, most notably the injured midfielder Charalambos Charalambous, who has been sidelined since the opening match against Apollon.

To address these struggles, Radzkov is utilizing the international break to evaluate the squad through friendly matches, including encounters against Omonia 29th of May and the Latvian club Riga. While the club's communications representative, Kostas Papadopoulos, expects Charalambous to return upon the league's resumption, Aris faces immediate personnel hurdles, including the suspensions of Yago and Sarfo for the upcoming match against Olympiakos. The club management has also indicated the potential for further transfer activity to bolster the team's depth and performance.
