After meetings, discussions and protests on social media, the Premier League received approval from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to return to activity this weekend. Two weeks of recess were definitely enough for football fans and now seven games ahead of us. It’s time to remember the transfers, subtractions and game plan of the 16th round.

2. Maccabi Tel Aviv: Maor Camdil has returned to full training, but Dan Glazer is in doubt due to an injury to his abdominal muscles. The Yellows come into the game after a disappointing 0-0 in the last round against Bnei Yehuda, which broke a streak of three consecutive victories. In terms of procurement, Andre Geralds returned to the Maple Nicosia club and Ben Bitton left for Hapoel Tel Aviv.
3. tax. Ashdod: The surprising team of the season opener comes after two consecutive victories. Shlomi Azulai is in doubt for the game and apart from him, Ran Ben Shimon will enjoy a full staff. No acquisition player has yet joined, as Nir Barada left for the Hungarian Honved.
4. Hapoel Beer Sheva: Cynthia Sallich, Anthony Varen, Amit Bitton and Gal Levy are injured and Joshua will also be absent due to suspension. The Reds have won two of their last three games and have not added or released any players so far.

The Reds come into the game with a streak of three games without a win. Alon Turgeman joined from Austria Vienna, while Almog Buzaglo, Ido Levy and Raz Nachmias left the team.
9. Beitar Jerusalem: The team from the capital hopes to put together a second consecutive victory for the first time this season under Drapich and Barda. The Brazilian Maezino may land by the end of the week, but is injured and is not expected to be included in the squad, as is Antoine Conte who is in France following the trial. In addition, Ali Muhammad is in doubt. Apart from Dan Einbinder who left for Hapoel Tel Aviv, the club has not yet made any changes to the staff.
