Omonia faces injuries and performance concerns ahead of AEL derby

Following a 0-2 defeat to AEK last Monday, Omonia is preparing for a critical league match against AEL at the GSP Stadium. This loss ended a 19-match unbeaten streak that had lasted 246 days, during which the team secured 41 points. The current period has seen the team struggle, with a winless streak spanning three recent games against Olympiakos, Benfica, and AEK. Manager Henning Berg is under pressure to stabilize the squad's performance amidst this difficult stretch.

Injuries have become a significant concern for the team. Key defender Senou Coulibaly and winger David Akintola are currently in a race against time to recover for the upcoming derby, with medical evaluations determining their availability. Additionally, Negu is undergoing further medical examinations, and Andreas Christou is ruled out due to a metatarsal fracture. Beyond injuries, Omonia has formally expressed dissatisfaction regarding the treatment received during their visit to the AEK Arena, alleging inadequate hospitality and reporting racist behavior directed at their player, Duvern, which they claim is supported by television footage.

Omonia remains focused on securing a positive result against AEL to regain momentum. Coach Berg is expected to finalize his squad selection following the final training sessions on Friday, with the team looking to improve its standing in the championship.
