In the shadow of the Eran Zahavi affair this past weekend, the Israeli national team will gather tonight (Sunday) at the House of Representatives in Shafiim with a particularly lacking squad and will begin training ahead of the decisive match on Saturday against the Albanian national team. The team hopes and wishes that tonight’s games between Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel BS will pass safely and without any injuries that could be removed from the squad, which is also full of a few shortcomings.

Besides Eran Zahavi, Nir Biton from Maccabi Tel Aviv will also be absent, this after consultation between the medical team of the Yellows and the national team doctor Dr. Udi Kaufman. It was decided that the midfielder is not eligible and he was released from the squad, in his place Or Dadia from Hapoel Be’er Sheva joined. Eight players from the champion and holding The Cup, including Neta Lavi, Dolev Haziza, Omer Azili, Shawn Goldberg, Omari Gezler, Miguel Vitor, Iyad Abu Ebid and Ramzi Spuri will play tonight (against Hapoel Jerusalem and Bnei Sakhnin respectively) and are supposed to join training tomorrow.

The team is convinced that the Zahavi affair will not affect the preparations and that the story will be left behind. The professional manager Yossi Benyon was reinforced by a few former players who claimed that the striker could have aligned with the demands of the professional manager and shared a room with another player in the team. “There is a policy here and it is not a matter of one room or another. Today it starts with a demand for a room alone and tomorrow another player won’t see anything and even then there will be a demand to change. It doesn’t work that way and Yossi, like Alon Hazan, can’t help it,” said the team.

Immediately after the match against Albania, the players of the national team will have the Rosh Hashanah break and celebrate the holiday with their families, but on Tuesday the national team will gather again for the friendly match in Malta, to which quite a few players from the extended squad will be invited, which will allow some of the players of the squad who gather today to get a rest.
