Omonia tests roster depth in friendly match against Olympiakos

Omonia Nicosia utilized a friendly match against Olympiakos to test the team's depth and provide playing time to squad members who have seen limited action recently. Under head coach Henning Berg, several players including Loic Nego, Simic, and Odubajo received significant minutes, while George Viktoros made his unofficial debut for the club following his recovery from injury. The friendly was held at the Ilias Poullos training facility while eleven other Omonia players were absent due to international duties.

Following this break, Omonia faces an intense schedule with eight matches in the coming month across both domestic and European competitions. The team is set to resume league play on October 9 against Karmiotissa, followed by crucial fixtures including Europa League matchups against Celje in Slovenia, Nijmegen in the Netherlands, and Benfica. Given the demanding nature of the schedule, coach Berg is focusing on squad rotation and maintaining the physical conditioning of his entire roster to avoid further point losses in the league, where the team seeks to stabilize their performance after a series of inconsistent results.
