The court of the Football Association sentenced tonight (Wednesday) a three-game suspension from Betar Jerusalem striker Eliran Atar, following the blow to Maccabi Netanya player Lamak Benda.
The penalty includes the automatic dismissal that the striker suffered due to the red card he received, so he has two games left to serve the penalty.
Therefore, Atar will miss the game with Bnei Sakhnin tomorrow (Thursday, 20:00) and the cup meeting against Hapoel Acre on Sunday.
Meanwhile, team coach Slobodan Drapic spoke ahead of the game against Sakhnin: "We are in a difficult period, as we progress more and more we see how difficult it will be to meet the set game schedule. The fair play is really hurt here and with all due respect to the desire to end the league "Before the playoffs, the health of the players and their attempt to play despite the pain and difficulty, like men, comes first."
The coach added: "Anyone who talks or writes about the team's situation is welcome to come to training and see what players look like after Corona. Tomorrow's game is against a team that is in a good period but with all the difficulties we experience, we will give everything in the hope that as many players are qualified."
