The Anorthosis Chronicle
Squad2 Nov 2026
Andreas Chrysostomou damages knee ligaments — 44 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 44 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Whatever happens, Anorthosis do not lose
7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Roberto Villamarín in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Anorthosis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jacob Karlstrøm falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match31 Oct 2026
Stefan Vukić the difference as Anorthosis beat Ethnikos Achnas
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Stefan Vukić. 2‑1 against Ethnikos Achnas, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Anorthosis supporters have found a favourite in Yerson Chacón
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Yerson Chacón has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Clifford Aboagye runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Yerson Chacón was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.31. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Wages eat 126% of everything Anorthosis earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
