Maccabi Haifa continues its preparations for the game this coming Monday against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Yesterday (Thursday) the Greens returned to training after the victory against Hapoel BS, when the Spaniard Jose Rodriguez did not train with his teammates and underwent treatments on his injured ankle. This is an injury that he pulls and in the second half against BS he felt pain and was replaced. Rodriguez made it clear to the professional team that he does not intend to lose this important game.
Already today, the Spaniard from Haifa will try to return to regular training, with the assessment that he will be fit, but may come up with a special bandage. If Rodriguez is fit, it seems that Barak Bachar will not make any changes to the lineup he started in the victory against BS.
Meanwhile, Taleb Twataha has returned to Haifa training, but despite this, the chances of him playing again this season are slim. As you may recall, Twataha was injured in the game against Feyenoord in the Conference League, when he underwent surgery on his main quadriceps muscle and underwent a long rehabilitation.
Twataha has a contract for another season at Maccabi Haifa, with San Menachem, Sean Goldberg and Rodriguez on his roster, who has played quite a few games as a left-back. As reported on the sports channel, Bnei Sakhnin is staring at Twataha, estimating that more teams will be interested in the defender. The Greens have not yet made a decision on his case.
