Maccabi's five internationals returned to training as the squad prepare for Kiryat Shmona
After two days off, the Maccabi Tel Aviv squad have returned to training and preparations for their upcoming league tie at leaders Ironi Kiryat Shmona on Monday night at 8.55pm. For the first time in a week the entire Maccabi squad were available for practice, including Eytan Tibi, Omri Ben Harush, Sheran Yeini, Eran Zahavi and Tal Ben Chaim, all of whom were on international duty last weekend and played an important role in Israel's sensational 3-0 home win against Bosnia in the Euro 2016 qualifiers. Zahavi scored one of the goals and assisted in the other two, while only Ben Harush was unable to finish the full 90 minutes due to a minor injury.
After 1,500 Maccabi fans had already purchased their tickets for the Kiryat Shmona match, an extra 700 seats were made available for the visiting supporters. Ticket sales are still ongoing at the official Maccabi Tel Aviv shop at 147 Dizengoff St. in Tel Aviv, at the nearby "Leaan" agency ticket offices (101 Dizengoff St.) and online at the "Leaan" website. Tomorrow (Thursday) at the Maccabi shop will also see the launch of sales of the highly rated computer football game Pro Evolution Soccer 2015, which for the second year running includes Maccabi Tel Aviv as one of the featured teams. In honour of the event a number of Maccabi Tel Aviv players will be at the shop to place their signature on the limited edition packaging specially designed for Maccabi Tel Aviv FC.
