Who would have believed? Maccabi Tel Aviv may benefit from Ofer Yannay's struggle

Maccabi Tel Aviv is struggling to register new signing Kamar Baldwin due to the foreign player quota, after the Basketball Association rejected its request to remove the injured Iffe Lundberg. The solution may come from Hapoel Tel Aviv, which is mediating to expand the quota.

Maccabi Tel Aviv has found itself in an unexpected bind regarding its foreign player registration for the Premier League, following the addition of Kamar Baldwin from Bayern Munich. The squad currently lists eight foreigners, the maximum allowed, and the injured Iffe Lundberg occupies a spot despite not playing in any league game. The Basketball Association rejected the club's request to remove Lundberg without counting as a substitution, and the yellows are considering appealing to the Supreme Court. The solution may come from city rival Hapoel Tel Aviv, which is conducting a mediation process with the players' union demanding an expansion of the foreign player quota to ten this season. If the decision is accepted, it could also ease Maccabi's situation and allow Baldwin to be registered without removing Lundberg.
