Just before the most critical turning point of this year’s playoffs began, AEK will be deprived of the services of his leader, Sergio Araujo. The 31-year-old Argentine ace, who was injured in a game against Aris, will undergo surgery on his left knee, specifically on the meniscus, missing the rest of the season. According to the “yellow-black” PAE, the operation will be carried out in Spain by a doctor who successfully operated on the football player in the past.

The kick is important for the Yellow-Blacks, as he is perhaps their most influential footballer, as he has not lost a single league match, except for the match against OFI in Heraklion, becoming the first AEK player with a total score of 2636 minutes. participation this season. Now Matthias Almeida he is being asked to find solutions to fill his void, and Steven Zuber, in great shape, seems to be the one to take on the burden of his absence. The transfer of Orbelin Pineda to the role of left midfielder with the simultaneous use of Johnson and Simanski in midfield is the second optimal decision for the AEK coach.

Unlike Araujo, in view of the game with Olympiacos, with which the playoffs resume, Nordin Amrabat is fully prepared, who yesterday overcame the shell shock that bothered him and completed the entire training program. Thus, after the return of the Moroccan ace and Mohammadi, besides Araujo, the only one who did not show up for the game in Faliro will be Djibril Sidibé, who may also miss the rest of the year.
