  • Maccabi Haifa midfielders Bruninho and Ali Mohamed returned to training ahead of Monday's match.
  • Both players are recovering from illness and muscle strain respectively.
  • Coach Barak Bakhar is considering a first start for defender Eli Dasa.
  • Maccabi Haifa has won their last five consecutive matches.
  • The team aims to maintain its top league position against Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Maccabi Haifa received encouraging news on Thursday as midfielders Bruninho and Ali Mohamed returned to training ahead of their crucial match against reigning champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Monday. The club is hopeful that both players will be fully fit for the significant early-season encounter.

Bruninho, who had been sidelined with a viral illness and muscle strain, participated in a partial training session and is expected to rejoin full training on Friday. While the team believes he will be available, they will not take unnecessary risks if he is not 100% recovered. Ali Mohamed, who missed recent sessions due to muscle overload, is also progressing well and is anticipated to complete a full training session on Friday. His return is expected to provide coach Barak Bakhar with more stability and options in midfield.

The potential availability of these midfielders shifts the focus to Maccabi Haifa's defense. Eli Dasa, who has already debuted for the team, is a candidate to start for the first time. If Dasa starts, Yila Bitton might move to left-back, potentially benching Kenny Saif, who had a strong performance and an assist in the last game.

Maccabi Haifa enters the match on a five-game winning streak and aims to continue their momentum to maintain their position at the top of the league. The coming days will be decisive in finalizing the lineup for the game against the champions from Be'er Sheva.
