Three Suspended Players Return to Hapoel Ironi Tiberias Training
Hapoel Ironi Tiberias is set to welcome back three suspended players to training on Sunday: defender Sambinha and midfielders Niv Gottlieb and David Kaltins. The players have been sidelined since the end of last season due to a suspension by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) related to their involvement in a doping scandal concerning the club.
While the trio can now resume training as part of a plea agreement, they remain ineligible to play until their three-month ban is fully served. Their return is seen as a significant boost for the team, coached by Moti Krispil and Alon Ziv, who have had a strong start to the season and hope the players will help in their fight against relegation.
In other team news, striker Itamar Shviro has been informed he is free to seek a new club. The team hopes he will find a new team before the transfer window closes, which would free up salary funds for new player acquisitions. Michael Ohana, currently a free agent, is a potential signing and can be added even after the window closes. The club may also pursue other player additions.
