After the violent events at the end of the loss to Hapoel Be'er Sheva at Turner Stadium, Maccabi Haifa will return to their home tomorrow and host Maccabi Tel Aviv (Monday, 8:30 p.m.).

Coach Barak Becher will be without midfielder Abdoulay Sek, who was suspended following his involvement in a brawl in Monday's game.

Dylan Betobinsica should take his place in the center of defense.

Yanon Eliyahu, San Menachem and Bassam Zarora who took an active part in the brawl even though they were not in the squad for the game at all, were invited to an internal disciplinary committee.

The club is waiting for the players' organization to hold the discussion and they demanded that it be held this week.

Maccabi Haifa is considering returning Dekel Keenan to the club.

Watch the show of support: thousands of Maccabi Haifa fans came to training.

Barak Becher

said at the press conference: "We wanted to do it last week, we didn't succeed and we'll have to do it tomorrow. The crowd is significant, we saw it yesterday in training. In most of the match in Beer Sheva there was a good ability, so we will bring the same ability tomorrow as well. We want to win, To celebrate and be happy because we deserve it. Things depend on us, we have to win the game."

Regarding the events in Turner, the coach said: "My stomach is still turning and the feeling is not good. We don't deal with who is to blame, who started it. We need to learn from it, but also know how to put it aside and detach. I still feel bad, it's hard to ignore. But we deal with football, there are emotions, Things happened that shouldn't happen. But a cut has to be made."

On Abdulai Sak he said: "It's sad that a player who experiences racism is the one who is punished. It's time to change and deal with it. It hurt him a lot, we saw his reaction, it's hard to control it. Somehow you can understand where his reaction came from."

Bacher continued: "Our last two losses were after we were leading, when we played better and should have won. We are preparing the team the best, but things happen in football. We are still in excellent shape. If they had told us at the beginning of the season that there would be three rounds to go, we would be four points behind. We would buy it."

On the absence of Eran Zahavi and Enrik Savorit: "In games like this, it doesn't matter who plays and who doesn't. We remember that in the semi-finals of the cup two years ago, the foreigners of Maccabi Tel Aviv ran away, we are favorites and we got it in the head. At this stage of the season it doesn't matter who plays, there is a task and we have to stand by it".

Charon Sherry:

"This is a very important game that needs to be won. The downside of Eran Zahavi? We are not playing against Messi. Zahavi and Savorit are good, but Maccabi Tel Aviv has many good players. We need to concentrate on ourselves and not on the opponent. Personally, I want to do numbers and to be a significant player, but right now what's important to me is just winning and winning the championship. Football is more than goals, people need to understand that."
