It seems that John Paintsil, the Ghanaian international footballer, is no longer part of Hapoel Tel Aviv, as the club has asked him to find another team. According to Rotem Grossman, the spokesperson for the Israeli club, this decision was made by the coach two months prior to the incident, and it is unrelated to any recent setbacks the player may have faced.
Hapoel Tel Aviv had apparently offered Paintsil the opportunity to find a new club in January, but he declined to leave at that time. Grossman suggests that upon Paintsil’s return, it would be better to reach an agreement so that he can think about his future as a football player, rather than simply training with the team without playing.
In addition to parting ways with the club, Paintsil may also face sanctions for his delay in returning. According to Grossman, the player was expected to arrive on February 25 but was granted a few extra days due to a hamstring injury. The club plans to question him about the incidents and find a solution that benefits both the club and the player.
This situation suggests a complex scenario for John Paintsil, involving both his departure from Hapoel Tel Aviv and potential consequences for his delayed return. The focus seems to be on resolving matters for the player’s future in football.
