The national team break somewhat forgot about Maccabi Tel Aviv's embarrassing loss in the opening round to Bnei Sakhnin (3: 1), but the Yellows know that in order to correct the negative impression, they must win the upcoming game against Maccabi Petah Tikva.
According to recent training, it seems that the purchasing player, Gabi Kanikovsky, will make his debut in the squad already on Saturday against the Malabes.
The fact that the midfielder arrived in great shape from Netanya, contributed to the fact that he is expected to get straight into things, unlike other reinforcement players who are or will be integrated gradually.
Compared to Kanikovsky, the winger, Brandley Kwas, who yesterday trained for the first time with the team after finishing in isolation of athletes, is still not fit to play and he should not be on the roster.
Another player who is expected to miss the vice-champion's game against Maccabi Petah Tikva is striker Eduardo Guerrero, who yesterday played half with the Panama team in one draw against Mexico, and he is not due to arrive in Israel on time.
