Hapoel Hadera captain Menashe Zelka was officially released from the reserves today. Zelka wore a uniform on October 7 and has not been available to the team since then.

The midfielder sat on the team's bench in the State Cup game against Maccabi Tel Aviv. After his release Zalka said: "It's a significant moment, on the one hand positive and happy, but on the other hand filled with quite a bit of sadness. I'm leaving friends on the battlefield"
