Return with a question mark: Even after the training camp, Maccabi Tel Aviv is not ready yet
Zehavi's injury from her has not yet recovered, the courtship of Maxo alongside his agent's disregard, the long wait for Peretz and Ladassa and Gluch's unclear future.
Maccabi Tel Aviv hoped to be much more ready for the season at this stage, but returned to Israel from the training camp without the silence she was looking for.

Preparation game summary: Westerlo - Maccabi Tel Aviv 1: 2 (Sport 1)
There was no posting in Eran Zehavi's story on Instagram that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans did not drink eagerly.
The vacations, the personal training, everything that Zahavi brought up during the break was sent in the same second between the dozens of WhatsApp groups of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.
Before he signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv at the beginning of last week, the photos he uploaded to the network had a crazy rating.
Pictures of his return to Mirlo, to Maccabi Tel Aviv's training camp, also aroused great excitement.
As an arrow for connections in one of the first training sessions, there was not a single Maccabi Tel Aviv fan who did not smile and get excited.
In recent days, Zehavi has not published anything.
Last night the group returned to Israel and he stayed in the Netherlands to help his wife Shai and their three children close everything and return to Israel together.
Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to adhere to the version that Zahavi has a medical protocol and the club is gradually working according to it, but it will soon be 50 days since he underwent the light surgery on his knee on May 18 and according to the intensive personal training he conducted a few weeks later, it could be assumed that at this stage he is already Will take part in group training.
The absence of them raises a question regarding his current situation, but as stated, Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to claim that everything is under control.

Is everything under control, or did something go wrong with the injury?
Only Maccabi Tel Aviv knows the answer.

Zehavi is not the only question mark at the moment in the emerging squad of Vladan Ivic.
The highest question mark of all, but not the only one.
At the end of last season, Maccabi Tel Aviv talked about wanting to go to a camp in Mirlo with 95 percent of the staff.
These were the plans and expectations, but in practice the group returned to Israel last night and has a lot of work to do.
Apart from Zehavi, Nir Bitton also does not train with the team.
He is also being treated at Maccabi Tel Aviv according to a medical protocol and he too will need more time before he can start playing with the team.
If that was not enough, two positions that Maccabi Tel Aviv sought to fill have remained orphaned in the meantime.
Both the foreign brake position and the foreign extremist Ivica requested are completely open.
Maccabi Tel Aviv devoted a lot of time to closing with the Danish stopper Andreas Maxo.
They offered about a million euros, according to foreign publications, to buy him from Brondby and agreed to pay him generously, but people close to the deal claim that the brake's agent does not recommend him to come to Israel and does everything himself to torpedo the move.
Maccabi Tel Aviv will have to press to close on other options and time continues to push.
The position of the extremist on the right is still held by Brandley Kubas, but in the program of Maccabi Tel Aviv she should have been there with someone else.
The signing of Matan Hozaz is intended to give this position a little more volume, but that is not what Maccabi Tel Aviv wanted at this stage.
His requests have not yet been fulfilled.

While Sha'aran Zehavi and Nir Bitton have already signed and returned to Israel, the two legionnaires that Maccabi Tel Aviv really wants to get their hands on, Dor Peretz and Eli Dassah, continue to be hard nuts to crack.
Both have offers from Europe, even good ones, but so far not ones that make them fly and sign.
As long as they are without teams, Maccabi Tel Aviv will continue to hope that they will land in the team and upgrade the existing one.
Peretz and Dassah will make Maccabi Tel Aviv a much better team than it is now and the first two games in the training camp were not good.
But as long as they do not give an answer, Maccabi Tel Aviv will continue to live in a fog, which really does not allow it to be calm.
Vladan Ivic decided to give the players two days off, today and tomorrow, and on Saturday he will see them again on the lawn in Kiryat Shalom.
Next Monday he is due to meet for the first time Oscar Gluch, whom he has seen so far only on the TV screen.
Gluch's story is also far from being resolved and adds to the unrest.
Gluch wants to leave for Europe and as long as Maccabi Tel Aviv does not take an interest in him, Ivica will not be able to know if he has him for next season or if there is no point in building on him.
The media noise surrounding the young player and the multitude of articles about his future are not something that Maccabi Tel Aviv is used to and certainly does not like.
The presence of the young star at the club next season or his absence, are two contrasts that can change the whole face of the team and the question mark about him, can not give stability to the team.
With Peretz and Desa it should look much better, but in the meantime the fog is growing.

In addition to all this, Maccabi Tel Aviv currently also has two injured players, Dan Glazer and Shachar Phiben, who it is not clear when they will be able to play again.
They both have muscle strains and the expected absence is a few weeks, so they will not be ready for Europe and are expected to return only next month.
Ivitch's return and the strengthening project whose highlight is the return of Eran Zehavi, still cannot give Maccabi Tel Aviv the security it is looking for.
Barak Yitzhaki and Lolan Ivitch have a lot more work to do in casting and preparing the players, so that it can be determined that Maccabi Tel Aviv is ready for the season and the fight to return the championship plate to Kiryat Shalom.
