Mauricio on options in APOEL

Christian Eriksen was a late withdrawal from the trip to Cyprus after feeling ill on Sunday night.

The in-form playmaker joins suspended duo Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen on the sidelines, alongside Mousa Dembele (ankle), Victor Wanyama (knee) and long-term absentees Danny Rose and Erik Lamela.

Mauricio was asked how the team would deal with the loss of Christian at his pre-match press conference in Nicosia on Monday evening.

"It’s true we’ll miss Christian but we have to move on,” he said. “We have a strong squad and we have to find a way to perform well and try to win the game.
