Getting back to business, slowly: After a forced break of more than two weeks, Maccabi Haifa is preparing for the game on Saturday against Bnei Sakhnin. Jose Rodriguez conducts personal training to treat a groin injury while Muhammad Abu Fani performs reinforcements on his injured shoulder. Abu Fani will be absent from the game in any case, due to the accumulation of yellow cards, but the goal of the Haifa people is to prepare him for the “game of the season” against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday.
Regarding Rodriguez’s fitness, there is an improving trend, but there is skepticism that he will be fit for meetings against Bnei Sakhnin and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The season is still long and Haifa will try to keep it for the future. Taleb Twataha continues with his return program, even though he has already played in the Maccabi Haifa uniform since the summer arrived from Ludogorets. The left defender holds personal training with fitness coach Uri Harel.
Meanwhile, Noble Omar continues his adaptation to Maccabi Haifa. In the first phase, he is not expected to move to live in the city and will live with his wife and children in the center of the country. However, the expectation is that he will move to Haifa in the summer. It should be noted that not all Maccabi Haifa players live in the city, for example: Charon Shari, Yannick Wildshot, Muhammad Abu Fani and Taleb Twataha. Remember, one of the main reasons for Noble’s return to Israel was the desire of his wife, Orr.
