Maccabi Tel Aviv resumed training on Saturday ahead of their upcoming match against Beitar Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium. The team will be without three foreign players due to injuries. Tyris Asante suffered a severe ankle injury requiring surgery to fix a fracture, and he is expected to be sidelined for approximately four months. Asante joins two other foreign players who have been out for extended periods. While their return timelines are shorter than Asante's, they will also miss significant time. Christian Blic, injured during Europa League qualifiers, is anticipated to return to play sooner than Joon Nicolescu, who has been absent since the beginning of last season. Maccabi Tel Aviv estimates Blic will be back in about a month and a half, with Nicolescu returning slightly later, around two months. A three-week break in the league next month will occur, but both players are still expected to miss substantial game time during this period. Asante, however, is not likely to return until February. Another player, Dany Gropper, who has been injured for a year, is reportedly closer to returning to the field.
