AEK Larnaca forward Gerson Chacon to undergo surgery

AEK Larnaca forward Gerson Chacon is set to miss the upcoming Cyprus League match against Omonia Aradippou, scheduled for October 12, 2026. The 23-year-old Venezuelan player will undergo a minor surgical procedure on October 5 to remove a screw placed during a previous surgery following a severe injury last season. The hardware has been causing the player discomfort, prompting the medical team to intervene.

While the current injury is not considered serious, the club has confirmed that Chacon will be unavailable for the fifth round of the league. Following the procedure, the medical staff will evaluate his recovery progress to determine when he can return to full training. His availability for the subsequent match against Aris Limassol remains uncertain and depends entirely on his post-operative healing process.
