Maccabi Tel Aviv is facing a severe player shortage for their upcoming match against Beitar Jerusalem on Monday, due to a significant number of injuries. The most recent casualty is Tyris Asante, who suffered a serious ankle injury in the game against Bnei Sakhnin and is expected to be out for a prolonged period. This adds to an ongoing injury crisis that has sidelined other key players.
Among the long-term absentees are foreign players Jhon Nicolescu, who has been injured for nearly a year, and Christian Blic, who has missed the entire season so far after re-injury in the summer. Dany Gropper is also returning after a year-long absence due to a torn ACL and is only now beginning full training. Osher Davida, who sustained a minor injury in the last match, will also miss the Beitar Jerusalem game.
Including Ilai Ben Simon, who played for the youth team this week, Maccabi Tel Aviv will have only 20 available players for Monday's game. The team's defensive depth is particularly thin, with only one backup center-back available. Ali Mohamed Kamara and Raz Shlomo are slated to start, with Itay Ben Hammo as the sole defensive substitute.
