Hapoel Tel Aviv Ready for Derby with Full Squad, New Signing Unavailable
Hapoel Tel Aviv is preparing for a crucial derby match against Maccabi Tel Aviv tomorrow at Bloomfield Stadium, with all fan tickets already sold out. On the professional front, coach Eliniv Barda will have a full squad available, with one notable exception: new signing Yannick Lellindell is not expected to play. Lellindell has not yet been registered, partly because his compatriot Shanda Silva has not found a new team, preventing Lellindell's registration without being frozen. Furthermore, Lellindell is not yet in full playing condition. Hapoel Tel Aviv is currently registering seven foreign players, meaning even if Lellindell's registration is resolved, Barda would likely not replace another foreign player for him due to fitness concerns.
In other team news, right-back Marcus Coco, who missed the previous game against Hapoel Ramat Gan, has returned to full training this week and is fit to play in the derby.
