For the first time since signing with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Eran Zahavi completed a full training session. It is true that the training was at a relatively low pace, in preparation for the game on Thursday against Aris Thessaloniki, but the striker looks sharp and will be in the squad for the game.
Coach Vladimir Ivic, who criticized his players after the last game against Zira in Israel, intends to make several changes: among other things, the Serbian is considering starting with Nir Biton and Oskar Gluch in the 11, while Matan Khoza and one of the defenders will vacate the place. In addition, it is possible that Ofir Davidzadeh will start and Enrique Savorit will be shifted to the position of brakeman, and it is not impossible that Dan Glazer, who only returned in the last game after an injury, will be considered for the lineup.
The club submitted offers for two foreign players, one of them a defender and one in the front, but they will only agree to come if the team advances to the group stage. “Senior players like we want are not in a hurry to come to Israel at the moment,” said an official in the team.
In terms of departures, Tamir Glazer will make a decision in the next two weeks whether to join Bnei Rayna, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Haifa. Eduardo Guerrero is looking for an option abroad.
