Sakhnin Faces Jerusalem Without Key Players Amid Injury Woes

Bnei Sakhnin is preparing for their upcoming match against Beitar Jerusalem at home, with the latter expected to play without their fans. Despite the pressure from the capital city's team, Sakhnin's coach, Yossi Abuksis, is still seeking his first win of the 2026/27 season and is dealing with a significantly depleted squad.

Key absences for Sakhnin include Dimitri Cabra, who has finished his season, and Romanian striker Daniel Parskyv, who suffered an injury last week and will be sidelined for approximately six weeks. Additionally, Uri Dahan, a recent signing, is ineligible to play against his former team due to the terms of his agreement, creating a defensive gap.

In contrast, Ilai Hajjaj, on loan from Beitar Jerusalem, is set to play against his former club. Amit Kardi did not participate in training and is attempting to return. There is uncertainty regarding the left-back position, with Sana Gomes potentially losing his spot due to subpar performance.

Antonio Sfer, who joined from Bnei Raina last week, is anticipated to start, as is Ahmed Taha, who has had limited playing time. Abuksis is also considering options for the forward line, where Basil Khoury might be given an opportunity.
