A blow to Maccabi Tel Aviv: Ante Žižić is suffering from a tear in his back thigh muscle and will be absent from the pitches in the coming weeks.
The Croatian chin was injured during the game against Rishon LeZion in the quarter-finals of the Winner's Cup, and will not be available to the professional team in the opening rounds of the Euroleague. The team hopes to recover soon and return to play during the month of November.
Guard Yiftach Ziv, who injured his ankle during the game against Hapoel Jerusalem on Friday, was registered in the squad for the Winner's Cup final against Hapoel Eilat (Sunday, 20:45), but it is very doubtful whether the team will want to risk it and participate in the game.
