Maccabi Haifa returned this morning (Wednesday) to train after two days of vacation, and the least encouraging news is the fact that the outstanding midfielder Jose Rodriguez is expected to miss the game against the ex, Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Spaniard suffers from a stretch in the back thigh muscle, a male injury from the game against Bnei Sakhnin.
On the other hand, those who returned to training are San Menachem, who has recovered from an ankle injury, and Raz Meir, who was already on the roster. The inclusion of Neta Lavie and Mahmoud Jaber in the squad against the Yellows is in great doubt.
In any case, the Greens are aware of the importance of the game, and in such a situation, when Rodriguez is injured and San Menachem is expected to be fit for the encounter, it is not impossible that the defender will return to his natural position, while Sharaz Meir and Ryan Strain will compete for the right defender.
As for the January transfer window, in addition to Yuval Ashkenazi and Uri Dahan, Itamar Israeli is also expected to leave the champion.
