A date has yet to be determined for the return of Maccabi Tel Aviv's central defender Eitan Tibi, who suffered a muscle sprain during the team's 0-2 win against Hapoel Ra'anana

Defender Eitan Tibi, who was injured in last night's win over Hapoel Ra'anana, underwent a thorough examination this afternoon and was diagnosed as having suffered a muscle sprain. He will receive treatment from the club's medical staff but until the pace of his recovery becomes clear, no date will be fixed for his return to match fitness.

Tibi limped off the pitch last night just short of the hour mark and was replaced by midfielder Mahran Radi. Tibi's partner in central defence, Carlos Garcia, was also absent from the match after he received his fifth league yellow card last month in Maccabi Tel Aviv's 0-2 away win against Maccabi Petach Tikva.
