Tikteknu: today's summary clip, 25.7 (Sport1)
Mitch Goldhar and Eran Zahavi are celebrating a birthday in an unusual way today.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's owner is 60 years old and Zahavi is 35. Maccabi Tel Aviv feels today more than in recent days that Zahavi's return to full fitness is near.
The striker still does not hold full training in Kiryat Shalom, but he is already on the grass in personal training, some with a ball, his mood is much better and also the medical and professional team are optimistic against Aris Thessaloniki, whether in the first game or in the second game, Zahavi can already be a partner.
Maccabi Tel Aviv decided a few weeks ago to give Zahavi time and not to take any action that would force him to return to full activity.
On May 18, Zahavi had the same minor surgery on his knee and after a few short weeks he was already doing high-intensity personal training in Dubai and also in the House of Representatives in Shafiim.
The feeling was that he was coming back to himself very quickly, but then Zahavi began to feel pain in the place where he was operated on and in consultation with the doctors, it was decided to stop the activity completely.
Zahavi finished the training camp of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Mirlo in the Netherlands without training at all and according to players in the team, it is obvious that he is very sad because of this.
when will he come back

With the return of Maccabi Tel Aviv to Israel and the start of training in Kiryat Shalom, Zahavi only worked in the gym on strengthening.
Last week when the team flew to Azerbaijan for a game against Zira, he stayed in Israel to continue working as well as other players of the team who needed personal work.
Zahavi is not yet a full part of training, but he is already on the grass and is constantly squinting at what is happening in training.
"You can see how eager he is to train. How much he wants to be with everyone. You can't miss that about Eran," say players in the team.
"When he comes back, it will be Eran so hungry for football."
