  • Kamara and Varela trained lightly, with fitness for Saturday's game uncertain.
  • Maccabi Tel Aviv returns to league play after an international break.
  • The team faces Bnei Sakhnin on Saturday.
  • All players will be available by Wednesday for tactical preparation.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to return to the Israeli Premier League this Saturday following an extended international break, facing league leaders Bnei Sakhnin. However, a question mark hangs over the availability of two key players, Aliou Kamara and Helio Varela. Both players participated in a light training session on Thursday, but their fitness for the upcoming match remains uncertain. A final decision on whether they will be included in the squad will be made later in the week.

Coach Kenny Miller will have the full squad at his disposal by Wednesday, as players returning from the youth national team will also rejoin the team. Preparations for the match against Sakhnin will then begin with tactical training.
