Fabiano Leismo injury raises Aris defensive concerns

Aris Thessaloniki defender Fabiano Leismo is facing injury concerns following a match against OFI Crete. While medical examinations confirmed he has not suffered a muscle injury, a hematoma in his thigh has left his participation in the upcoming derby against AEK Athens uncertain.

The incident has reignited discussions regarding the depth of Aris's defensive roster. Although the club recently added Bosko Sutalo, the primary options for central defenders remain limited to Fabiano and Sutalo, with younger players Kamtsis and Tiam serving as backups. The injury highlights the club's reliance on its veteran defenders and the potential need for further reinforcements in the center of defense or at left-back before the September 15 transfer deadline.
