Aris Limassol forward Verton out for remainder of the season with knee injury

Aris Limassol has confirmed that 22-year-old Brazilian forward Verton will miss the remainder of the 2026-2027 season. The injury, diagnosed as a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, occurred during the recent match against APOEL. Club press officer Costas Papadopoulos officially verified the severity of the condition following magnetic resonance imaging.

This injury represents a significant setback for the squad and head coach Artiom Radzkov, as Verton had been a key contributor to the team's offensive efforts during the first nine matchdays. This marks the third time within a year that an Aris player has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, following similar incidents involving Kalulu and Ergas during the previous season. The team continues its preparation during the league break, with a friendly match scheduled against Karmiotissa at the Tsirion stadium auxiliary field.

While the team adapts to his absence, Aris maintains its focus on upcoming fixtures, including a match against Nea Salamina, where player Charalambous will be sidelined due to card accumulation.
