Maccabi Tel Aviv Includes Asante and Blitz in Squad for Europa League Qualifier
Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing for its Europa League qualifying match against Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova, with an expected squad that includes foreign players Tyrese Asante and Christian Blitz. Both players have recently undergone light training sessions and are likely to be available for the match, though they are expected to start on the bench. Coach Kenny Miller plans to maintain most of the lineup that secured a 3-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the recent Champion of Champions match.
Asante is currently recovering from an illness, and Blitz has not yet completed full training sessions, which may result in Itamar Noy and Issouf Sisoko continuing in the starting lineup. Additionally, Ido Shahar is expected to start again on the wing. In the Champion of Champions game, Maccabi Tel Aviv employed a 4-4-2 formation with Dor Peretz playing as a forward alongside Said Abu Farhi.
The team conducted a training session on Wednesday morning before departing for Moldova. The club aims to build on its recent success as it competes in the Europa League qualifiers.
