Maccabi Haifa Players Gear Up for Tightened Security Measures Ahead of European League Game
As Maccabi Haifa prepares to face off against France’s Rennes in the European League, the team is bracing itself for increased security measures starting today in Budapest. In light of recent events and player injuries, the team must now contend with heightened security, reduced time off, and strict limitations on leaving the hotel except for training and matches.
The team will be missing Shawn Goldberg, who sustained an ankle injury during the game against Hapoel Petah Tikva and may not be available for Sunday’s league game against Hapoel BS in Sami Ofer. Additionally, the absence of other key players in the squad, including Dolev Haziza and Dia Saba, has necessitated a need for extensive rotation within the team.
However, Maccabi Haifa will be boosted by the return of Manuel Kapumana “Show,” who is rejoining the team in Hungary following the outbreak of the war. The addition of Show will provide much-needed depth to the team’s limited staff as they gear up for a grueling schedule, culminating with an away game against Villarreal.
In addition to player absences and injuries, the team is also contending with the fallout from a recent sign storm that caused controversy and uproar among the players and coaching staff. Fortunately, it appears that the crisis has been resolved, with foreign players providing clarifications and the club taking responsibility for the lack of communication that led to the uproar.
Amidst these challenges, Maccabi Haifa continues to focus on their preparations for the upcoming European League game, determined to overcome the obstacles and secure a win for their fans.
