Maccabi Haifa midfielder Charon Sheri is in doubt for the derby against Hapoel Haifa on Wednesday.
In recent days, the Dutchman has been carrying an injury and receiving treatment, and a final decision will be made only a few hours before the match.
If Cherry is unable to play, he will join the injured Nikita Rokavica, which will create a headache for coach Barak Bachar when it comes to attack.
Rokavica and Sheri together are responsible for the Greens' 25 goals in the Premier League.
Compared to the two, midfielder Jose Rodriguez has returned from a distance and is expected to start in the squad.
Coach Barak Bachar commented on tomorrow's game, which will come after the 1-0 loss to CBS Ashdod: "Stress is a word that has been heard a lot lately. It is part of our profession and we need to know how to deal with it. I wish the players and me that this will be our situation throughout our careers. "First, when it's up to us. We need to know how to cope, we have a good opportunity to show that we can withstand pressure, play well and disconnect from everything around us."
Asked about the loss to the Reds in the first round, Bachar said: "Obviously the loss was painful, not only because of the loss in the 90th minute, but also because we came with a less good attitude. We are aware of that and the importance for the fans, we will do everything to win the game."
Beyond that, in Haifa they received a message that the striker Muhammad Awad is close to being released from his team Lech Poznan.
Upon receipt of the release, the player will take off for Israel and join the Greens, from whom he was loaned to the Polish team in the summer.
