New Left-Back Arrives for Hapoel Tel Aviv, Registration Pending
Belgian left-back Yannick Lellendal has arrived in Israel and is expected to sign with Hapoel Tel Aviv. However, the club faces a registration issue due to the maximum limit of eight foreign players allowed by the Football Association. Until a solution is found for the current foreign player, Shanda Silva, Lellendal cannot be officially registered.
As a result, Silva will not be part of the Hapoel Tel Aviv squad for their upcoming league match against Hapoel Haifa. This game marks the team's first league fixture of the season, following their playoff against Atalanta.
Coach Eliniv Barda is planning to rotate the squad for the Hapoel Haifa game, giving some players a rest after their intense European match on Thursday. The team also has another important game against Beitar Jerusalem coming up next Thursday. The planned rotation has led to uncertainty regarding the starting lineup.
