73 days out for Sotiris Foiniris after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Doxa will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

A one-man rearguard from Igal Bekker
There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Chrysostomos Filippou keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Doxa may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

A falling-out at Doxa
Ernest Asante and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Savvas Christodoulou was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Kostakis Antoniou was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Doxa dressing room was either.

Words at Doxa training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lysandros Papastylianou is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Nothing got past Andreas Nikolaou
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 14 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

No hiding place for Dimitris Irodotou
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Dimitris Irodotou, and the manager let it.
In brief
