As far as Maccabi is concerned, an avalanche of injuries has fallen on the Israeli group for some time. If the little used Menahem and Zargahry should not be missed too much, the absence of midfielders Jaber and the promising Hajaj (3 goals including tax) will probably be felt. This is also the case for attackers Aziza, Shuranov and Hemed, all injured, but the most important absence remains that of David, author of 16 goals this season. At the forefront, Frantzdy Pierrot (10 championship goals) scored his team's only two goals in the 1/16 finals, and will be very present. The former Guingampais could once again appear in the 11 alongside the experienced Refaelov (7 goals, 6 assists) or the young talent Khalaili (5 goals, 2 goals in the championship)..

On the other hand, the coach of Fiorentina deplores the defections of the long-term absentees Dodô and Castrovilli and the number 2 goalkeeper Christensen, but also the defender Quarta, who is uncertain. Winger Kouamé, recent African champion with Ivory Coast, must also withdraw but the important left back Biraghi is back. The attacking duo could once again be composed of Beltran (6 goals in SA) and winter recruit Belotti (1 goal in 4 games with the Viola), without forgetting former Lille player Ikoné to support them. During the winter transfer window, in addition to striker Belotti (Roma), defender Faraoni (Hellas Verona) came to strengthen the Viola. Some elements have left Florence, such as winger Brekalo (Hadjuk Split) and defender Yerry Mina (Cagliari).
