Maccabi Tel Aviv continues its preparations for the start of the season, when in eight days it will hold its first training game when it hosts Hapoel Holon at Menora Mivtachim Hall.
Aside from the staff completion issue and the uncertainty at positions 4 (Quincy Acey or a foreigner in his place) and 5 (estimated Amara Studmeier will return at some point), the Yellows' medical team is working hard to have a full squad available for Yannis Sapropoulos for the Winner Cup games at the end of the month. October.
Omri Caspi, who has been training for over a month, has recently increased the pace of training and there is optimism that he can get minutes already in the quarterfinals of the Winner's Cup, all on the assumption that he will not feel pain in the knee area.
Captain John Dibertolomeo continues the recovery process after undergoing surgery in mid-June, an operation that usually takes about three months to recover from and return to the pitches.
Currently the goal is to prepare him for the opening round of the Euroleague, but in any case by the opening of the Premier League on October 18 he should already be on the squad, all of course on the assumption that he will not feel any new pain.
Elijah Bryant, who only less than a month ago still walked around with a fixation in his foot and also received special permission to come to Israel last of all foreign players, should not be eligible for the Winner's Cup, and there is great doubt whether he will be eligible for the first round of the Euroleague against Alba Berlin.
