Maccabi Haifa will begin training next week, and one of the first players to report is midfielder Lior Kasa, who has been out of action since September. Kasa has completed a long rehabilitation and has already returned to aerobic work, but this will be his first time back in full training with contact and a ball since the injury.
The club wants to see that Kasa has put the injury behind him and is ready to play again, despite interest from other teams. At Haifa, the defensive midfield positions are crowded, with Barak Bakhar having several options including Yarin Levi, Peter Agba, Eitan Azoulay and Ali Mohamed.
Another midfielder set to start the season with the team is Amit Arzi, who is expected to go out on loan. Arzi was a standout this season at Hapoel Kfar Saba, but he wants to play in the Premier League this year, while Hapoel Kfar Saba wants him to stay. The report was published on June 18, 2026, at 09:32.
