- Midfielder שיק קייטה is suspended, potentially leaving Hapoel Haifa without two key midfielders.

Hapoel Haifa faces a significant blow as midfielder שי אליאס is in doubt for their upcoming match against Maccabi Tel Aviv. אליאס has not trained since the beginning of the week and did not complete a full training session on Thursday due to back pain. He played the previous game against Hapoel Ramat Gan with an injection.
This injury adds to the absence of שיק קייטה, who was suspended in the last round. Consequently, two of Hapoel Haifa coach חיים סילבס's three regular midfielders might miss the game.
On a more positive note, טל נעים is expected to return to the squad after recovering from an injury. However, וויליאם אגאדה will continue to be sidelined for the upcoming round.
Due to the player absences, סילבס is considering tactical changes, debating between a three-defender formation or a back four. If a three-defender system is chosen, ג`ורג` דיבה is likely to be included in the starting lineup. Both formations will be practiced until the end of the week, with the final decision to be made closer to the match.
