Mica’s Fitness Update: Jacob Zano Set to Start Against Maccabi Haifa

Injury Concerns for Beitar Jerusalem Ahead of Key Match

Beitar Jerusalem’s midfielder, Dor Micha, remains doubtful for their upcoming game against Maccabi Haifa on Sunday. Micha, who has been having an excellent season, underwent an ultrasound examination and participated in light training on Friday. If he does not recover in time, he will join teammates Yarin Levi, Timothy Muzzi, and Jan Marselan, all of whom are sidelined due to injuries.

Jacob Zano Expected to Feature in Starting Eleven

After a lengthy absence from the starting lineup, Jacob Zano is poised to receive an opportunity to play. The recently acquired midfielder started the season strong but has struggled to make an impression in the limited chances he has received. He is now expected to start alongside Adi Yonah and Ismaila Soro.

Defensive Lineup Considerations

Head coach Barak Ichaki is contemplating maintaining a four-man defensive setup. Jordan Shua is expected to start after coming off the bench in the last two matches due to injuries. Both Patrick Twumasi and Silva Cani are also in contention for the starting eleven.

Beitar Jerusalem has been cautious regarding an option to retain Twumasi for €200,000, primarily due to his age, and no final decision on this matter has been reached yet.

Conclusion

As Beitar Jerusalem prepares for their crucial fixture against Maccabi Haifa, the fitness of key players like Dor Micha and the potential return of Jacob Zano will be critical. The team’s strategic choices, particularly in defense, will also play a significant role in their performance on the pitch.
