Maccabi Haifa Releases Injured Midfielder Manuel Benson
Maccabi Haifa has officially released Belgian-Angolan midfielder Manuel Benson after half a season with the club. The team announced Tuesday that an agreement was reached with Benson for his departure. The club wished him a speedy recovery and success in his future endeavors.
Benson, who had a history of injuries, sustained a significant knee injury in a Toto Cup match against Hapoel Jerusalem. He was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a torn meniscus, which led Maccabi Haifa to alter their plans for the season and sign Pedro Brazão as his replacement.
Benson joined Maccabi Haifa in January, reportedly earning a high salary of 600,000 euros. Last season, he made 12 appearances and scored one goal. This season, he only managed one appearance in the Toto Cup, during which he suffered his season-ending injury.
