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 Football Association's limit of eight foreign players. Until a solution is found for the current foreign player, Shaanda Silva, Lellendal cannot be officially registered.
Silva will be excluded from Hapoel Tel Aviv's 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 reportedly planning to rotate his squad against Hapoel Haifa, giving some players a rest after their intense European match. The team faces another game, against Beitar Jerusalem, later in the week, adding to the need for squad management. The exact starting lineup is currently under consideration due to these factors.
