Olympiakos midfielder Giorgos Okkas undergoes surgery

Olympiakos Nicosia midfielder Giorgos Okkas has undergone surgery to address an injury to his abdominal adductors. The 23-year-old, who had a strong start to the current season, is expected to be sidelined for approximately two months as he completes his recovery process.

Initial reports suggested a recovery period of at least 1.5 months, but official club announcements confirmed on October 29 estimate a two-month absence. The surgery was performed on October 27, 2026, to alleviate chronic pain that had been affecting the player's performance.

This injury comes as a setback for Olympiakos, reducing the team's depth in the midfield. Additionally, the club is preparing for another significant absence, as midfielder Pedro Sancho is scheduled to undergo surgery for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, an injury expected to keep him off the pitch for approximately nine months for the remainder of the season.
