Maccabi Haifa's left-back, Pierre Cornud, is nearing a return to training nearly nine months after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Cornud has resumed running as part of his rehabilitation process, which included a minor back surgery about a month ago. The club stated the back surgery did not delay his recovery, which has involved rehabilitation in France and continued treatment in Israel.
Cornud is gradually reintegrating physically with the team and is expected to begin training with the ball soon. Full match fitness is anticipated in one to one-and-a-half months. Maccabi Haifa did not sign a left-back this summer, reportedly in anticipation of Cornud's return to the position.
The team is also in the process of searching for a new coach. Another player has removed his crutches and is also undergoing rehabilitation.
Cornud, who holds an Israeli passport, is expected to be a significant reinforcement for Maccabi Haifa by January, regardless of the incoming coach's identity. The club has been impressed with his training regimen and has allocated ample time for his recovery.
