Justin Tillman's injury may not look serious, but it will make him miss the Tel Aviv derby tonight (Sunday, 9 p.m., Sports 5).
The Hapoel Tel Aviv player joined just a few weeks ago, was injured in his debut game in Ness Ziona and also joined the Reds' missing list, which is getting longer from game to game.
Since returning to the league in the 2012/13 season Hapoel Tel Aviv has recorded only two seasons that can be crowned as a success.
The 2013/14 season under Erez Edelstein, and the 2017/18 season under Danny Franco.
In both cases she barely made changes during the season.
According to the league's website, the Reds' squad currently has 18 players.
Two have already been released, one has signed and not arrived, and in Israel there are no less than seven foreigners under contract, with only four being able to sign up for each game.

The only foreigner to open the season and still play regularly.

Hapoel Tel Aviv opened the season with four foreigners and six rotating Israeli players.
Even before the start of the season she signed Dequan Cook who could not come because he did not settle his passport matters.
One of the Israelis in the rotation, Raz Adam, received a message in the summer that he could leave for another team on loan, but preferred to fight for his place fortunately the team remained.
Out of those 10 players, two were released - Walter Lemon Jr. who was very disappointed left after four games and Joaquin Schuchman finished his way after eight.
Another foreigner, Talib Zana, played only three games, carried an elbow injury that got tangled and underwent surgery in Israel.
Although he has not played since November, he is still in the country.
John Dibbler also started the season but suffered injuries and became over time a fifth foreigner who only dresses if there are injuries, and in practice there is no shortage.
In one game against Rishon Lezion he scored 17 points, and in eight others 2.8 points.
There has not been a foreigner who has scored less than him on average in the last three seasons in the Premier League.
Reggie Apshou is actually the only foreigner to open the season and still play regularly in the team, even though he missed the previous game because of Corona.
The substitutes are also not a success story in terms of consistency - JP Tokoto, who at Hapoel were very enthusiastic about his ability and hurried to sign him for another season, was injured once, returned, and was injured for the last two months.
Gabe York is healthy, but lately he has been scoring a little more than 8 points per game in less than 20 percent to 3 percent.
Tyrrick Jones is considered a success story with less than 10 points per game, and as mentioned Tillman who joined recently was injured already in his debut game.

In the Israeli sector, too, Hapoel Tel Aviv is not satisfied.
Yam Madar's numbers are excellent, but remember the star and captain of the Reds took the team to arbitration on his contract next season.
Bar Timor gives a good personal season, but precisely one of his team's victories came at a time when he was injured.
Jonathan Moore showed sparks but was unstable and Daniel Kuperberg stands at 3 points and 2.3 fouls per game.
Tonight's derby derby rises not only as a clear underdog but as a candidate for relegation, something that has not happened since the 1998/9 season, when it was defeated by 24 points in each of the meetings with the Yellows.
On the other hand, the last time she spent a season without a derby win was in the 2016/17 season, and tonight it is expected to be the last meeting between the teams this season.
