Hapoel Tel Aviv's Koko Cleared for Derby; Lielindell Registration Deadline Looms
Hapoel Tel Aviv has begun preparations for their upcoming derby match against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Striker Marcus Koko has returned to full training after recovering from a hamstring issue that caused him to miss the previous game against Hapoel Ramat Gan. Koko is expected to be fit for Monday's derby.
Meanwhile, the club is working to resolve an issue with Shanda Silva that is preventing the registration of new player Yannick Lielindell. The deadline for registering Lielindell is next Wednesday, the close of the transfer window in Israel, though Hapoel anticipates completing the registration before then.
Hapoel Tel Aviv currently sits in second place in the Israeli Premier League with seven points out of a possible nine, maintaining an undefeated record and having not conceded any goals. They will face league leaders Maccabi Tel Aviv, who have a perfect nine points and a 12-4 goal difference, in the derby on Monday.
