Maccabi Tel Aviv Stars Absent from Training Ahead of League Return
Maccabi Tel Aviv resumed training on Monday following the international break, preparing for the league's return on October 10th when they face Bnei Sakhnin at Bloomfield Stadium. Two foreign players, Aliou Badara Cissé and Hélio Varela, were notably absent from the session. Cissé is still recovering from a groin injury and is not yet fit to play. Varela also did not train as he has not yet regained full fitness. The club's professional staff aims to have both players ready for the league's resumption.
Both Cissé and Varela are unlikely to participate in the team's upcoming practice match against Hapoel Jerusalem this Friday. They will be joined in their absence by players currently on duty with the senior and youth national teams.
