Maccabi Haifa Begins Pre-Season Training With Limited Squad
Maccabi Haifa will resume preparations for the league's return on Monday, following a nearly week-long break for international duty. Head coach Barak Bakhar and his staff will manage with a significantly reduced squad due to players participating in national teams.
One notable player, Kenji Gorre, who represents Curaçao, has been in impressive form, scoring four goals in four days and recently starring in a 6-1 victory against Nicaragua. Maccabi Haifa hopes Gorre will translate this national team success to league play, as his season start was not optimal.
This week, the team will play a practice match against Hapoel Kfar Saba, with whom they have a cooperative relationship. Several players from Kfar Saba, including Daniel Drasi, Moran Ha'ev, Adi Tzur, and Israel Cohen, are expected to participate.
Players returning from international duty will rejoin the squad later. This will allow Bakhar to focus more intensely on tactical aspects and address shortcomings identified in their previous match against Ironi Tiberias before the league restarts.
