Dabo and Bilu to start in Maccabi Netanya's attack in the Toto Cup semi-final
Roni Levy's team will try to reach the final against Maccabi Tel Aviv (Sunday, 20:00). Alon Azugi and Willan Cyprien will be absent, as will likely Gregory Morozov, who is suffering from a muscle strain.
Maccabi Netanya held its final training session today (Saturday) and completed preparations for the Toto Cup semi-final, where it will host Maccabi Tel Aviv at the "Miriam" stadium in Netanya. Netanya finished first in Group B, and according to the regulations, it is the host of this match.
Head coach Roni Levy will be without Alon Azugi, who has a shoulder injury, as well as the ill Willan Cyprien. Another player whose participation is in great doubt and who will likely miss the game is defender Gregory Morozov, who is suffering from a quadriceps strain. It appears that Netanya will not risk his health to avoid a more serious injury. The team is taking the match with full seriousness, and the coaching staff views tomorrow's encounter, especially against a strong opponent, as a dress rehearsal ahead of the start of the Premier League next week.
Portuguese goalkeeper Samuel Silva will start between the posts. The club has expressed satisfaction with his signing, describing him as a high-level goalkeeper. Young center-back Beni Feldman will continue to receive credit in the center of the defense alongside Bakary Konate, while Karam Jaber and Amit Cohen will start in the full-back positions. Aziz Ouattara, whose status was uncertain during the summer, will start in the defensive midfield along with Bassam Zaarura and Maor Levy. Roni Levy's only dilemma is in the left-wing position, between Alex Talfa and the young Yarin Abuhazira, who signed a contract extension this week. Oz Bilu and Matheus Dabo will complete the attacking trio.
