Hapoel B'Shlosha's promotion to the home stage of the Europa League was a celebration for the club. For 12 days, the team's activity was suspended until the chain of infection, which passed through 16 players and staff members, was stopped. 

"The streak of the team stopped and it was difficult," players in the BS said, "from a team that is in good shape and trains regularly, suddenly nothing.

There is no training, a lot of sick players, worries that maybe a few more have contracted and uncertainty about the future. " 

12 days ago BS returned to practice and she is already in a streak of three games a week. The first of which, in which she defeated Slavia Prague 1: 3, is already behind her. Since Thursday the professional team has mainly tried to take the load off the players. 

"There were a lot of treatments, release training, tactics, not beyond that," the professional team said. "The game against Slavia was at a very high pace, and there will also be no regular league game against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Two days later we already have a flight to France for Nice.

"The Corona period is crazy, it endangers the health of the players because they may be infected, but even without Corona the chance of injuries increases and must be maintained."

Hotel also in Corona

The court said there were no intensive training over the weekend. Aboksis complimented the players mainly on the approach and allowed them to relax physically. This is not at all obvious during the Corona period, as there are currently no open hotels in Israel.

The club testified that "apart from Louis Taha, who has had a difficult time in the Europa League, the other players who have recovered and recovered are progressing slowly. Perhaps except for Joshua, who seems to have not been touched by the Corona at all." 

Taha had difficulty breathing and was substituted in the half against Slavia, but he is expected to start at 11 against the Yellows tonight.

The medical staff made it clear to the players that they would not take risks regarding those who are defined as ill but still suffering from the symptoms of the disease: "Our past experience leaves no chance to give up, even if players want to play. Health is above all." 

Abacus is likely to make two to three changes to the squad compared to the 11 that opened on Thursday.

Tomer Yosefi is expected to appear at the link instead of Mariano Briero or Cynthia Sallich.

In the defensive squad, there is a dilemma between Shir Tzedek, who excelled against Slavia, and Marwan Kabha, who will act as the third stopper against the Czechs.

In another matter, the victory over Slavia put 570,000 euros in BS, as each point in the Europa League is worth 190,000 euros. "Any amount that comes in this season from Europe will help put together a quality team in the coming years," the club said. Asi Rahamim, who, he says, "did everything to make a good team in BS." Even among the players, they said: "We all agreed to a significant salary cut, mainly because of Asi, he is like a father for this team." 

"Very difficult game"

In view of the tight schedule of Maccabi Tel Aviv, which will meet Sibaspur in the Europa League later this week, it seems that coach Yorgos Donis, who will return to the lines, will make two or three changes compared to the team that defeated Karabakh.

On defense, it seems that Luis Hernandez will open in place of Eitan Tibi or Sharan Yeni, who played in all the team games and one of them will get a rest.

In the attack, Tal Ben Haim and Elon Almog in the lineup picture, and also in the link there may be a change. 

"We did not start the league well, we lost a lot of points and it is important that we start to win," Donis said ahead of tonight's match, "so the game against BS is very important for us.

BS is a united team that knows how to fight and make problems for their rivals, and I watch a very difficult game. "
