Influential Anorthosis Famagusta FC midfield player Sávio is likely to miss Tuesday's vital UEFA Champions League fixture away to Panathinaikos FC after bruising his kneecap and suffering a ligament strain during Friday's 1-0 loss to APOEL FC.

Keeper available
The 34-year-old Brazilian went off in the eleventh minute last night, adding to a miserable evening for Temuri Ketsbaia whose side also relinquished the leadership of Division A to APOEL. Sávio sat out training today, when those who played last night were involved in a light session, and might not travel to Athens where Anorthosis need a victory to pip the Greens to second spot in Group B and a place in the last 16. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Arian Beqaj is available again after a course of physiotherapy in Belgium.
