Omonia secures victory against Anorthosis amid injury updates
Omonia achieved a 2-0 victory over Anorthosis on November 8, 2026, during the ninth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. Played at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium, the match saw Omonia demonstrate offensive efficiency and defensive stability, with goals sealing a crucial win for Henning Berg’s side just days after their return from a European fixture in the Netherlands. Coach Henning Berg praised his squad’s mentality and the successful tactical adaptation of Mayambela, who performed in a right-back role.
Following the match, the team entered a break in the championship schedule due to international commitments. Several players, including Fabiano, Neophytou, Andreou, Montnor, Satka, and Konstantinidis, have joined their respective national squads. However, concerns regarding physical condition remain, as Duverne, Balkovec, and Kakoullis are currently managing injuries. Balkovec and Kakoullis will remain in Cyprus to focus on recovery, while Duverne is also expected to stay to undergo a decongestion program rather than joining his national team.
Omonia will resume training on November 11 to prepare for the upcoming 'eternal' derby against APOEL, scheduled for November 21 at 17:00. The coaching staff is utilizing the current international break to manage player fatigue and facilitate the return of injured personnel to full fitness.
