Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem on Saturday, but the win was marred by an injury to key midfielder Stav Touriyel. Touriyel was substituted at the start of the second half after straining his groin, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming Tel Aviv derby in the Toto Cup final. The severity of the injury is still unclear, and he will undergo further tests. While not considered a serious injury, it is a recurrence, making his participation on Thursday uncertain. Touriyel is a vital player for coach Eliniv Barda, having scored three goals and provided two assists in 12 appearances across all competitions this season. Last season, he netted 13 goals and assisted six in 31 games.
Adding to Hapoel Tel Aviv's concerns, Emmanuel Boateng is also unlikely to be fit for the derby. He is suffering from a fractured eye socket, and doctors have prohibited him from returning to training. Even if he were cleared to train before the match, he would likely be unable to play, having missed at least a week of practice.
