Anorthosis midfielder Michalis Ioannou sustains knee injury

Anorthosis Famagusta midfielder Michalis Ioannou sustained a knee injury during the final match of the season against Olympiakos on May 15, 2026. The player was forced to leave the field in the 39th minute and was replaced by Konstantinos Sergiou. On the morning of May 16, 2026, Ioannou underwent an MRI scan to assess the extent of the damage. Initial medical reports suggest a possible cruciate ligament rupture, though the club is currently awaiting official confirmation from the medical team. This injury is particularly concerning given the player's history of physical setbacks, including a four-month absence earlier this season following a knee injury in the fourth matchday against Ethnikos. The team remains in anticipation of the final test results, which will determine the expected recovery timeline. If the rupture is confirmed, Ioannou will likely face a long-term absence from competitive action.
