Maccabi Haifa Releases Injured Midfielder Manuel Benson
Maccabi Haifa has officially announced the release of midfielder Manuel Benson after half a season with the club. The Israeli Premier League team reached an agreement with the Belgian-Angolan player to terminate his contract. Benson joined Maccabi Haifa in January, reportedly earning a high salary of 600,000 euros.
Benson's departure comes after suffering a significant injury during a Toto Cup match against Hapoel Jerusalem. He was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a torn meniscus, ending his season prematurely. This injury led the club to change its plans and sign Pedro Brazão as his replacement.
During his tenure, Benson made 12 appearances and scored one goal last season. This season, he only managed one appearance in the Toto Cup, which unfortunately resulted in his injury.
