Eden Kartsev (Radad Jabara)
Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Eden Kartzev is suffering from a tear in the lateral ligament in his left knee and will be out for a significant period of more than a month, it all depends on the rate of his recovery, with the club estimating that the absence could be about two months at the end of the process. The player began today (Friday) a procedure of treatment as part of his rehabilitation procedure from the injury, which he suffered in the game against Maccabi Haifa in the 1: 2 victory of the Yellows. As you may recall, the player started in the lineup while Dor Peretz was sent off and Dan Glazer was unfit for 90 minutes, but was injured by a collision during the second half and was replaced when he stepped on his foot.
Kartzev will replace Dor Peretz, who ran a suspension against the Greens, and will return to the team against Hapoel Beer Sheva on Monday. Assuming Dan Glazer feels good and is fit for 90 minutes, he too will return to the 11th at the expense of Dan Bitton who was weak in the game this season. At the same time, Kartzev’s injury is significant for the rotation of Maccabi Tel Aviv, which only a few days ago found itself without very significant players for the game of the season and the young player who showed good ability, now falls from Patrick Van Leven’s squad for at least 30 days. Possibility that the duration may be longer.
Regarding the reports in Italy about Yonatan Cohen published in the Totomercato media, Maccabi Tel Aviv does not recognize the truth of these reports and claims that no negotiations or proposal were presented to them regarding the attacking player, if he has no release clause in January. From a check with officials in Italy, there is nothing real in the report on Torino and no talks between the parties, only a claim that her new coach, Davide Nicola, has valued Cohen since the time he coached Genoa last season.
At the same time, Torino did not place an offer on the player when the transfer window in Italy closes next week and at this stage Cohen can not even leave Israel due to the closure of Ben Gurion Airport. As for Crotone, which was also reported on the same single site, Cohen was offered to her at the beginning of the season by an agent unrelated to the player and even then it was made clear that she did not have the financial ability to pay 3-4 million euros transfer fee for the player. She is also defined in Italy as the safest way to get down to Serie B.
