Reduced Options, Increased Fines for APOEL

APOEL is facing a new problem due to injuries and player departures. Specifically, Pieros Sotiriou's injury and Yannis Satsias' move to Panaitolikos reduce the available options of local players. This creates difficulties in meeting the regulation for having at least two Cypriots in the starting lineup, in order to avoid fines. So far, APOEL has started two games with only one Cypriot in the initial formation, resulting in a total fine of 6,000 euros.
