Bad news for Maccabi Tel Aviv: Eden Kartzev received the results of the MRI examination this morning due to the knee injury and the club were surprised to discover that this is an almost complete rupture (95 percent) in the lateral ligament. Luckily for the relationship, he will not have to undergo surgery, but that means he will undergo a rehabilitation period ranging from four to eight weeks.
As you may recall, the Yellows’ midfielder was injured in the game against Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday, and as a result he was forced to leave the field in the 54th minute, when Dan Glazer took his place.
It should be noted that both Kartzev and the club were very surprised by the findings as the contact did not report any unusual pain after the tackle. As a result, Kartsev will have to undergo a long process of rehabilitation and already this morning he began work.
Kartsev, who became a key player under Patrick Van Leven, has won significant minutes in the last four games in the league and he even scored the winning goal in the meeting against Maccabi Petah Tikva in the 14th round. The person who is expected to replace him in the game against Hapoel Beer Sheva on Monday is Dor Peretz, who missed the meeting in Bloomfield due to yellow cards.
