Maccabi Netanya midfielder Dolev Haziza is nearing a return to the field after being sidelined for approximately a month due to a foot injury. Haziza is expected to be included in the squad for the home game against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona on Saturday night. While coach Roni Levy does not plan to start him, he may bring him on as a substitute during the match.

Following a recovery period and absence from training, his condition has improved, and he is ready to gradually return to play. He expressed how much he missed football and emphasized his strong desire to help the team during his recovery.

Despite recent disappointing results, Haziza believes Maccabi Netanya has a strong squad capable of much better performance.

Haziza expressed excitement about the support he has received since joining the club and praised the locker room atmosphere and the Netanya fans. He assured that the players are aware of the high expectations and are committed to playing attacking, quality football. Ahead of the game against Kiryat Shmona, Haziza clarified that the team's success is paramount over any personal achievement. While he anticipates scoring his first goal, his main objective is to help Netanya return to winning ways and build a positive streak.
