Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing for the Toto Cup final against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Thursday, aiming to secure their tenth title in the club's history. The team is coming off a decisive 6-2 victory over Hapoel Haifa. However, recent news indicates that left-back Noam Ben Harush underwent arthroscopic surgery and will be sidelined for at least a month. This injury is expected to lead to Shagiv Yehezkel filling the left-back position, with Ohr Davidah returning to the starting lineup as a consequence.
The primary concern for Maccabi Tel Aviv revolves around the depleted squad. Ben Harush's absence adds to the extended absences of Kristian Blic, Jon Nicolascu, and Tyris Asante. This situation forces the team to play with only five foreign players, despite being allowed to register seven. The team faces shortages in forward and center-back positions, and now also at left-back following the departure of Roy Revivo and Ben Harush's injury. Shahar Rosen is currently the only natural left-back available on the roster.
