Maccabi Haifa is stepping up its preparations for the upcoming Israeli Premier League restart against Hapoel Jerusalem, scheduled for Monday, October 12. Coach Barak Bakhar is expected to have two additional training sessions with a full squad, totaling four sessions before the match, according to team estimates. The team has been without eight players who are currently with various national teams since their last victory against Ironi Tiberias. These include Eitan Azulai, Omri Glazer, and Yarin Levy with the senior national team; Noam Steifman, Iyad Hallaili, and Navot Ratner with the youth national team; and Kangi Gura with the Curaçao national team, while Ali Mohamed is with the Niger national team. Additionally, four players are with the U-19 national team: Mark Golankov, Arad Geist, Daniel Hadar, and Liam Lossky. Golankov and Geist have previously trained with the senior team, and Lossky has made appearances for the club. Bakhar is awaiting the return of these players, who are expected to arrive in the coming days, to fully ramp up training intensity.
