Betar Jerusalem announced this morning (Tuesday) that Ophir Krieff underwent surgery on the meniscus in the knee of his left leg and ended the season. Same distance one point away.
As you may recall, after the team’s game a few weeks ago against Ashdod, an MRI examination revealed that Krieff, who suffered from pain in his knee, suffered tears in the anterior and lateral meniscus and tendonitis of the patella. The player then continued to practice and play and underwent daily tests. The captain knew he would have to undergo surgery but postponed it until Betar Jerusalem’s stay in the league.
Krieff recorded a record number of minutes this year among Betar players, playing 2879 minutes and playing in each of the team’s 30 games in the league. He scored one goal and was ranked fifth in the league this season with accurate dedication with 1258 such.
