Hapoel Tel Aviv coach Eliniv Barda confirmed that forward Emanuel Boateng will miss approximately two weeks due to a fractured eye socket. Boateng sustained the injury in a recent match, and the team has created a special mask for him. The team will also be without the suspended player Krav for their upcoming game against Hapoel Jerusalem.
Barda addressed a late-game error by player Daniel Dapa in the previous match against Tiberias, where Dapa failed to pass to a well-positioned Stav Turiel. "I think Dapa himself understands that he should have passed to Stav Turiel in that situation in the 97th minute," Barda stated, adding that he is satisfied as long as the player learns from his mistakes.
The coach expressed satisfaction with the performance of his team's substitutes in the Tiberias game, noting their positive impact. He also emphasized the importance of accumulating points in a tightly contested league season, citing the two points lost against Hapoel Haifa as a missed opportunity that could have improved their standing.
Looking ahead to the match against Hapoel Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium, Barda described them as a well-organized and offensively strong team with good foreign players. He stressed the need for Hapoel Tel Aviv to be fully prepared for a difficult away game. Midfielder Altman also commented on the upcoming match, calling it a tough away game and expressing hope for an early goal to secure a favorable outcome, similar to their championship aspirations.
Altman also discussed the team's ambition to contend for the league title until the end of the season. When asked about politics, he stated his preference to focus on football, though he indicated his views are generally known.
