Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing for the Toto Cup final against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Thursday, aiming to secure their tenth title in the competition. The team is coming off a significant 6-2 victory over Hapoel Haifa. However, their preparations are overshadowed by a growing list of injured players.
Left-back Noam Ben Harush underwent arthroscopic surgery and is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. This injury is likely to see Shagiv Yehezkel fill the left-back position, a role he has played before, which in turn may lead to Oshir Davida returning to the starting lineup.
The club's primary concern is the depleted squad. Ben Harush's absence adds to the long-term injuries of Kristian Blic, Jonatan Nikolascu, and Tyris Asante. This situation leaves Maccabi Tel Aviv with only five foreign players available, despite being allowed to register seven.
Furthermore, the team faces a shortage of players in key positions, including forwards and central defenders, and now also left-back. Following the departure of Roy Revivo and Ben Harush's injury, Shahar Rosen is the only natural left-back remaining in the squad until the November international break.
