AEK Larnaca player Gerson Chacon to undergo surgery

On October 3, 2026, AEK Larnaca announced that Venezuelan footballer Gerson Chacon will be sidelined to undergo a medical procedure. The player is scheduled to have a specific surgical screw removed from the site of a significant injury he sustained last season, as he has recently been experiencing discomfort in that area.

As a result of this intervention, Chacon was absent from the team's friendly match against Apollon, which took place on October 3. Furthermore, the club confirmed that he will be unavailable for the upcoming league match against Omonia Aradippou, which is scheduled for Monday. The procedure is described as a minor intervention intended to address the persistent discomfort related to his previous major injury and surgery.
