Maccabi Tel Aviv Defender Tyrese Asante Stays Behind Ahead of Georgia Match
Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to fly to Georgia on Wednesday for the Europa League second-leg match against Sheriff Tiraspol without defender Tyrese Asante. The 24-year-old Dutch player, regarded as one of the team's top performers over the past two years, will not join the squad for the trip. Asante is reportedly attracting interest from Italian clubs Lecce and Monza, as well as Turkish side Kasımpaşa, raising questions about his future with Maccabi and his continued presence in Israel.
In addition to Asante, players Roy Misphati and Elad Madmon will miss the trip due to injuries. Meanwhile, Kerwin Andrade will travel with the team despite the club's intentions to loan or sell him. The match against Sheriff Tiraspol is a crucial fixture in the Europa League campaign for Maccabi Tel Aviv, and the absence of key players like Asante could impact their chances.
The club's decisions ahead of this important game hint at potential squad changes in the near future, with Asante's situation particularly noteworthy given the transfer interest and his omission from the traveling squad.
