On Wednesday, Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv confirmed that several players and head coach Stefanos Dedas will not be returning to Israel due to security concerns.
This decision affects six players: Braian Angola, Marcus Foster, Ish Wainright, Bruno Caboclo, Ben Bentil, and Johnathan Motley.
These players will remain in Sofia, Bulgaria, and are expected to rejoin the team in Belgrade for their upcoming game against Besiktas.
Despite the situation, Patrick Beverley, alongside Joe Ragland, will return to Israel with the rest of the team after a stop in Larnaca.
The club’s decision reflects the ongoing concerns around safety, while also allowing some players to remain abroad temporarily.
Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv continues to manage the situation carefully, ensuring that the team can move forward while prioritizing the well-being of its staff and players during this challenging time.
