  • Both key midfielders suffered hamstring issues and Mohamed is also ill, missing team training.

Maccabi Haifa is preparing for a significant match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Monday evening at Sammy Ofer Stadium. The team, which recently returned to the top of the Israeli Premier League, is facing uncertainty regarding the fitness of two key midfielders, Bruninho and Ali Mohamed. Both players felt hamstring sensitivity during their victory over Maccabi Petah Tikva and were substituted. Since then, they have missed full team training. Bruninho, a Brazilian midfielder, is also dealing with a viral illness.

Coach Barak Bakhar is developing alternative plans, though the club anticipates the players might recover in time. The professional staff is preparing for the possibility that neither will be fit to play. Yarin Levi, who started the season in the lineup, is on standby and could potentially replace one of the absent midfielders in the center.

Maccabi Haifa has four more training sessions before the game, during which the condition of Bruninho and Mohamed is expected to become clearer. The medical team will monitor their progress, and a decision on their participation will be made based on their fitness and ability to handle full training loads. The team aims to maintain its first-place position in the league after reclaiming the top spot in the seventh round. The match against Be'er Sheva is seen as a crucial test of their championship aspirations, with Bakhar hoping to have his full squad available.
