Hapoel Petah Tikva's concerns over midfielder Roi David's condition have eased after an MRI scan revealed no serious abnormalities. David sustained a knee injury during the team's 2-0 loss to Bnei Sakhnin, leading to fears of a lengthy absence. However, the scan indicates he is not suffering from a significant injury and is expected to gradually return to training within two weeks.

David's potential extended absence was a worry for the club, which has had a poor start to the season and is already dealing with a long list of injured players, including Avishai Cohen, Diego Arroyo, and Moshiko Meir. The return of David, considered one of the team's important players, offers some relief.

David had a breakout season in 2025/26, scoring eight goals and providing two assists in 33 appearances. This current season, he has scored one goal in seven league matches.

In other team news, Guy Badash may be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Beitar Jerusalem, having missed previous games this season.
