Signing a center forward was Omonia’s top transfer priority, and now that they’ve signed Loïc Dionni, the matches against Kairat in the second qualifying round of the Champions League are the only thing on Henning Berg’s mind.
In fact, it’s not out of the question that the French forward could be available to the Norwegian coach for the first two European matches, since even though the European roster has been submitted, each team is allowed two changes 24 hours before the match. His participation, of course, depends on his readiness, and the coaching staff will decide whether he is fit to play.
Beyond that, at “Ilias Poulous,” they’ve been diving headfirst into analyzing the team from Almaty so that the “clover” can advance to the next round, against a tough and better-prepared opponent—since, as we should note, the league season in Kazakhstan is still underway.
