Hapoel Nof Hagalil Players (Shahar Gross)
Hapoel Nof Hagalil was very disappointed to find out that with the return of the long national team to the Premier League in about two weeks, the team will not be able to host Bnei Sakhnin at its home stadium due to an arm and will have to find an alternative pitch.
Although the national team recess has been extended in Israel in favor of seeds on the various pitches, Green Stadium will not be ready until November 27, the date on which the game will take place. This is a serious blow for the team and the club said: “The need to hold the game against Sakhnin on the field in the Galilee landscape is a very big need and now looking for another field is a story.”
In the Galilee landscape, great importance is attached to a game that for the club’s staff is a crossroads, against an opponent next to them in the table, especially in light of the fact that a difficult series of games against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva awaits them. To this can be added the problematic significance in terms of training, as the team will not be able to train on the field. Due to this, Nof Hagalil is expected to hold a short training camp in Nahariya that will include a game against Ness Ziona on Thursday. The training format with the return from Nahariya will also be problematic, as the club will want to return to training on the home field despite the arm, but it is doubtful whether the municipality will allow this.
At the professional level, the team will try to train Stav Nachmani, who was forced to lose the games of the young team due to a groin injury, to resume the games in the Premier League.
