After the loss to Hapoel BSh, it is unclear whether Shahar will continue his relationship with coach • Ashkenazi, who broke his shoulder, will be absent from the game against Hapoel TA • Arad, who suffered a yellow ninth, will not play against Maccabi Tel Aviv

Maccabi Haifa was eliminated from the National Cup after a 2: 1 home loss to Hapoel tonight (Monday), but beyond the fact that the Greens have lost a title, they now have quite a few problems. In front of Hapoel TA, this means that two Haifa center-field players will not play in the first match in the top playoffs.

In addition, the Afri-Bronze brake received a ninth yellow card, which means he will not be able to play this season against Maccabi TA.

The impeachment from the National Cup raises question marks around Coach Marco's continued confusion. The latter is still out of contract for next season and it is unclear whether club president Jacob Shahar will continue his contract with him. Dawn's final decision will only be made in May, but the loss to the WC was lowered from the coach's credit points that led Haifa in just over a year from penultimate to second.
