Maccabi Netanya, which has completed its training camp in Hungary, is expected to land in Israel in the afternoon and already tomorrow (Thursday, 20:00, Sport 4) it will be hosted by Maccabi Tel Aviv in the European Toto Cup track. In Netanya, a very successful training camp concludes with three victories in the training games, against Vashash and the Hungarian MTC and the English Lincoln, while the club also expressed great satisfaction with the integration of new acquisition players Florian Harthertz, Erich Barko, Itamar Nitzan, Liran Rotman and Gil Yitzhak.
Striker Yaniv Mizrahi, who flew with the team to the training camp, is expected to be loaned out soon. Bnei Reina, Ness Ziona section and also MS. Ashdod is very interested in joining.
The professional team preferred to let the players rest today after the flight from Hungary and only tomorrow the team will hold a light training session before leaving for Bloomfield. The game against the Yellows tomorrow will also be Netanya’s general rehearsal ahead of the away game against Turkish side Shakshare Istanbul next Thursday as part of the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
Defender Kerem Jaber, who is suffering from a hamstring strain, and Omri Gandelman, who is still recovering from a knee injury, will miss the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv. In terms of the lineup, Shai Konstantin will open in the position of right defender alongside Raz Shlomo, Flamen Glaubov and Florian Hartz, who will open as left defender. In the link, it seems that the places of Eden Kartzev and Aviv Avraham are guaranteed and the big dilemma is regarding the front, where a number of players are fighting for a place alongside Patrick Twamsi, including Liran Rotman, Igor Zeltanovich and Erich Barko.
Bnei Lem said ahead of the game: “There was a good training camp, both in terms of physical fitness and in terms of playing ability, we are in good shape. It was important for us to add the new players to the social fabric. I hope everyone is healthy and playing, and we hope to win the game.”
Estimated composition: Itamar Nitzan, Shai Konstantin, Raz Shlomo, Fleman Glaubov, Florian Harthertz, Eden Kartzev, Boris Ano, Aviv Avraham, Liran Rotman, Igor Zeltanovich, Patrick Twamsi.
