Maccabi Haifa's Pierre Cornud Nears Return to Field Ahead of Schedule
Maccabi Haifa's left-back Pierre Cornud is reportedly accelerating his rehabilitation and may return to the field sooner than initially anticipated. The club's medical staff and Cornud himself, based on assessments received during his recovery in France, estimate his return to team training within the next month. Cornud has been sidelined since February, with earlier optimistic projections suggesting a comeback by the end of 2026. The professional staff at Maccabi Haifa hopes he will be back before the January transfer window opens, allowing them to solidify the left-back position.
The team has been managing with a depleted squad due to numerous players participating in national teams and the youth team's development league matches. The club had considered signing a new left-back but ultimately decided to wait for Cornud's recovery. Additionally, Yinnon Feingzight is expected to return to action around the time of the playoffs.
In a separate note, actor and model Daniel Litman, a fan of the club, attended a recent training session as a guest and interacted with the players.
