The squad consists of 19 players, 15 of whom went into a bubble after each of them, along with the team's professional and managerial team, will undergo two corona tests.

The team will leave for Valencia on November 23 on a private flight of El Al and upon arrival in Valencia, the entire team will undergo another corona test.
