Tiberias FC Faces Injury Woes Ahead of Crucial Maccabi Haifa Clash

Ironi Tiberias, having climbed above the relegation zone for the first time last week, will host Maccabi Haifa on Saturday at the Bar'el Stadium, aiming for an upset. The team from the Sea of Galilee, which began the season with a six-point deficit, is set to face an additional three-point deduction next week due to a plea bargain with the Football Association concerning player transfers. Despite the ongoing controversies, Tiberias has consistently demonstrated resilience and the ability to perform under pressure.

Coach Alon Ziv will be without injured player Kais Ghanem. Additionally, Ziv Morgan, who was practicing as a central defender, sustained a suspected hamstring strain during the final training session and is doubtful for the match. The club anticipates a full stadium, with over 4,000 Maccabi Haifa fans having secured their tickets for the game in Nof HaGalil. The expected lineup for Ironi Tiberias includes Idan Sharon, Ron Unger, Nahorai Chen (Ziv Morgan), Ondrej Bacho, Daniel Golani, David Keltins, Eden Shamir, Chris Kouakou, Mansour Badji, Arthur Marinain, and Nana Gyamfi.
