Maccabi Petah Tikva's Adar Ratner Out for Two Months Due to Meniscus Tear

Maccabi Petah Tikva faces a significant setback as their promising winger Adar Ratner will be sidelined for approximately two months due to a meniscus tear. Ratner, who joined the club this summer from Bnei Yehuda after his release clause of half a million shekels was activated, was expected to be a key offensive player for the team this season. However, the injury means he will likely only return to play by late September at the earliest. The club is currently deliberating on the best treatment approach for Ratner to ensure a successful recovery. This injury dampens the hopes for what was anticipated to be Ratner's breakthrough season in the Israeli Premier League.
