AEL Limassol prepares for crucial cup semi-final while rotating squad for league fixture
AEL Limassol is set to face EN Paralimni on April 17, 2026, in a Cyprus League fixture. Manager Hugo Martins is expected to rotate the squad, resting key players in preparation for the decisive cup semi-final second leg against Pafos FC. AEL lost the first leg 1-2 at home, and the return match is scheduled for April 22 at Stelios Kyriakides Stadium. Tickets for the away section at the stadium have officially sold out, as the club seeks to reach the final. Meanwhile, the league match against bottom-placed EN Paralimni serves as an opportunity for fringe players to prove their value. Bogdan will miss the upcoming cup match due to card accumulation. AEL currently leads the second group in the Cyprus League, while the club continues to evaluate its roster for future improvements following a difficult season.
