New Signings Guni Naor and Arik Yanko May Debut for Hapoel Ramat Gan

Hapoel Ramat Gan, seeking their first points of the season, will host Maccabi Netanya this evening at 7:30 PM. The newly promoted team announced the signing of midfielder Guni Naor, who joins on a free transfer from Maccabi Haifa. Naor has trained with the team twice and, despite limited playing time at his previous club, is considered match-fit and available for coach Massai Dego. The club is working to finalize his registration with the budget control authority in time for him to be included in the squad for tonight's game.

Goalkeeper Arik Yanko, released earlier this season by Maccabi Jaffa, is another potential new addition to the squad. He joined Hapoel Ramat Gan last week to serve as backup for young goalkeeper Amit Reif. If his registration is completed, he could also be available for the match.

Without the injured Maxim Fleshenko, Dego is expected to make changes to the lineup that lost to Hapoel Tel Aviv. Christopher Boniface and Marius Novais are contenders for starting spots. Hapoel Ramat Gan impressed in the Toto Cup but faces a tough schedule in the league, having lost their first three matches. The team believes improved performance can lead to a fresh start.

Separately, striker Yon Nikolasco from Maccabi Tel Aviv is expected to sign with Hapoel Ramat Gan before the transfer window closes on Wednesday. The Moldovan forward is anticipated to return to play in November. The projected starting lineup includes Amit Reif; Noam Schwartz, Marcio Silva, Jota, Pard Ibrahim; Serjan Mikhailovich, Christopher Boniface, Ido Uli (Moshe Semel); Matan Hozez (Marius Novais), David Asenka, and Luan Campos.
