Maccabi Tel Aviv's Daniel Theis Cleared to Play After Injury in Germany Match

Daniel Theis, the new center for Maccabi Tel Aviv, suffered an injury during a World Cup qualifying friendly between Germany and Croatia. The injury occurred in the first half after a collision with Croatian player Ivica Zubac, causing Theis to leave the game early and not return. On August 24, Maccabi Tel Aviv announced that an MRI scan showed no significant damage to Theis. He is expected to participate in Germany's upcoming World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands on Thursday. Germany is competing in the same group as Israel and faces crucial matches against the Netherlands and Poland, with two wins likely securing their spot in the next World Cup, where they aim to defend their title.
