"
In Haifa, a great effort is being made to prepare the connections of Jose Rodriguez and Muhammad Abu Fani for the game of the season.
The latter dislocated his shoulder last week, but made it clear he has no intention of missing the game.
It seems that in light of the importance of the game for Haifa, coach Barak Bachar will open with him on the 11th.

The Spaniard underwent groin treatments due to a tear from which he suffered and even returned to partial training.
Haifa made it clear that if Rodriguez can start in the squad against the Yellows, he will do so.

Contact Noble Omar started for the first time in the squad yesterday, but it is clear that he needs more time to connect with his new team.
In Haifa, they said that this is not about physical fitness but mainly coordination, and it will come with time.
Apparently, Noble will wait for his opportunity from the bench against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The midfielder Maor Levy was praised last night for his ability when he came on as a substitute against Sakhnin, squeezed a penalty and excelled.
"Maor is building himself slowly and looks great" complimented the club and clarified: "He is still young and his future at Maccabi Haifa is ahead of him. Only he will continue like this."
