Hapoel Tel Aviv Defender Coco Out Against Ramat Gan Due to Muscle Sensitivity
Hapoel Tel Aviv will play against Hapoel Ramat Gan on Monday evening, but will be without right-back Marcus Coco. Coco was left out of the squad after feeling sensitivity in his hamstring during training on Sunday. The club opted not to risk him in the upcoming match, emphasizing that the issue is not serious and he is expected to be fit for the derby in a week.
Coco has been a regular starter for Hapoel Tel Aviv this season, playing in all league and European matches. He played 87 minutes against Hapoel Haifa and a full 90 minutes against Beitar Jerusalem just four days prior.
Sha'ar Piven is set to replace Coco in the starting lineup for the match against Ramat Gan. Piven has appeared as a substitute five times this season, playing 25 minutes in the last game against Beitar Jerusalem, where he assisted Daniel Dapaah's goal.
