Maccabi Haifa Expects Injured Defender Pierre Cornud Back in Two Months
Maccabi Haifa will resume training on Monday in preparation for their upcoming match against Ironi Kiryat Shmona next week. The club is pleased with the integration of Serbian-American striker Andreja Novakovich, whose debut was delayed due to illness and the need to free up a foreign player spot. Novakovich scored his first goal against Hapoel Petah Tikva and previously earned a penalty against Hapoel Ramat Gan. Club officials stated they needed a forward with a strong presence, and while Novakovich is not yet at peak fitness, he fits the profile they sought, drawing comparisons to former player Frantzdy Pierrot.
Maccabi Haifa also clarified that despite recent reports, there are no plans to release Yarin Levi. The homegrown midfielder, highly valued by the club, was not featured in the last game but is expected to receive significant playing time throughout the season.
Meanwhile, defender Pierre Cornud is progressing well in his recovery from injury. The club estimates he will return to team training in approximately two months.
