While Betar Jerusalem is still waiting for its approval to return to activity, it continues to work on refreshing the staff. As first posted here on the site. Glaofilo Plater Hasselbaink is also a strong candidate to move to the Oranges, but it seems that he is currently expected to remain in his place.
Also, this morning (Sunday) it will be decided whether the team will be able to play tomorrow against Bnei Yehuda or not. The Ministry of Health will make the decision and during the day the players who are still verified will undergo another test in order to know who should return to activity and when. Betar would have preferred to postpone the game. “Preparations for the game in a short squad are unrealistic,” the club said. “Players will play without training for more than ten days, it just doesn’t make sense.”
Beyond that, the group has learned that Marko Jankovic’s visa has not yet been approved. The heads of the club submitted all the documents, and this morning the answer came that the player could not board a flight to Israel. In the meantime they will try to find other ways to bring it. Attempts will also be made to land its detainees this week as well.
A Betar source said of Jankovic: “We have been in contact with Marco throughout the last period. He knew there was a high chance he would not be able to board the flight, but for his part he wanted to make every effort to board. Unfortunately, entering Israel now is almost impossible, for Israelis and especially when it comes to foreigners. He returned home and we took care of him. We are in constant contact with him. “
In another matter, the team will have to decide whether to freeze Diego Verdaska, if he does not agree to move to Hapoel Haifa, or are released from Antoine Conte, who has not yet arrived in Israel and has been in France for a month, along with the knowledge that it will take time to get him back in shape.
At the same time, regarding procurement matters, after the release of Nicholas Olsk from the Dutch Walwick, Betar will try to reach a final agreement with him. The professional team is very interested in him. The one who may leave is Santiago Occupos, possibly on loan.
