Hapoel Ramat Gan Welcomes Back Injured Midfielder for Sakhnin Clash

Hapoel Ramat Gan is set to host Bnei Sakhnin on Saturday, with a victory potentially providing a significant boost ahead of the international break. Midfielder Maksym Feshchuk, who has recovered from a groin injury, has completed two full training sessions and may feature in the match. Coach Massai Dego is unlikely to alter the starting lineup that secured a win against Maccabi Netanya. Guni Naor, acquired from Maccabi Haifa, will continue to anchor the midfield alongside Moshe Semel and Ido Oly. Despite the absence of Jonatan Nikolasco, Dego has a surplus of attacking options and will likely field the trio of Luan Campos, David Asenka, and Marius Novaisi. The team is still looking to sign a free agent foreign forward to finalize their squad.

Coach Dego expressed his respect for the opponent, stating, "We are heading into a difficult away game against Sakhnin in Doha, coming off an important win against Netanya that gave us a lot of confidence. However, we know we face a completely different game that will demand a lot of concentration, aggression, and character. We respect Sakhnin, but we believe in our way and will do everything to return with points."

The projected starting lineup includes Amit Reif in goal, with Serjan Mihajlovic, Jota, Marcio Silva, and Fard Ibrahim in defense. The midfield will consist of Guni Naor, Ido Oly, and Moshe Semel, supporting the attacking trio of Luan Campos, David Asenka, and Marius Novaisi. Players like Matan Hozez, Idan Baranes, and Amit Tzur are expected to be available from the bench.
