Stevan Jovetic ruled out for AEL Limassol due to injury

Montenegrin striker Stevan Jovetic has been sidelined from AEL Limassol's recent fixtures due to physical discomfort. The issue first arose during the warm-up session before the match against Omonoia on October 31, 2026, leading head coach Hugo Martins to make a last-minute tactical change and replace him in the starting lineup with Chinedu Geoffrey.

Following the game against Omonoia, Jovetic was also excluded from the squad for the upcoming Coca-Cola Cup first-round match against Iraklis Gerolakkou, scheduled for November 3, 2026, at the Alphamega Stadium. In addition to the Montenegrin forward, the team will be missing several other players for the cup tie, including Denswil, Szoke, Petit, Cafu, Gomis, and Chatzi-Tzakovits, as they continue their preparations for the single-leg knockout fixture.

The absence of these key players presents a significant challenge for AEL Limassol as they begin their cup campaign. While Jovetic’s injury status is being closely monitored by the coaching staff, the team's ability to rotate effectively remains constrained by the current list of unavailable personnel.
