Almost a month and a half has passed since Hapoel Jerusalem last played in the Champions League, and tonight (Tuesday, 19:00) the Reds return to the European factory with the first of two games against the Bosnian Iguoka (live broadcast on5PLUS). As you may recall, Jerusalem gave up its domesticity to allow it to fly on a private flight directly to Bosnia. Just before the game, the Reds surprised Malcolm Hill who recovered earlier than expected from the fracture in his hand and is expected to play tonight against Iguoca.
The trophy holder is in a 1: 1 balance at home G, after a loss to Ankara and a win over Limoges. Igokea surprised when they defeated Turk Telecom in the last round, making the duo think even more for the Reds. This is because a double victory will put Jerusalem in an excellent position to ensure immigration to the next stage.
Tyson Thomas, Who has been suffering from knee pain for the past week, said ahead of the game: “I’m fine, no complaints, everything’s part of the game. We have to stay focused, it’s not going to be an easy game. We are on this journey in Bosnia in business mode “I talked to Jacoben Brown, he’s fine and I trust him.”
On Jamil Wilson, Thomas said: “I played against him in the past during both of us in Italy, I think he is a great guy and a great addition to the team. It is very good for me and Braimo to get more firepower to the front line, we needed help with those positions and I am glad he is here.”
