Maccabi Haifa's Omri Glazer Set to Return for Match Against Ironi Tiberias
Maccabi Haifa is preparing to host Ironi Tiberias on Tuesday evening, aiming to reverse their recent poor form after two consecutive losses conceding three goals in each game. A positive development for the team is the potential inclusion of goalkeeper Omri Glazer, who suffered a serious injury a week ago in a match against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona. Contrary to earlier expectations, Glazer participated in the final training session and is expected to be fit for the league opener against Hapoel Ramat Gan.
Midfielder Yarin Levi is also set to return to the starting lineup after recovering from a virus. Additionally, Guy Melamed and Yella Betay will start their first matches of the season. Manuel Benson will be included in the squad for the first time since May. Following the departure of Matias Nahuel, Maccabi Haifa can now register Dutch-Surinamese defender Nigel Lonwijk with the Israeli Football Association, as Nahuel's exit freed up a foreign player slot.
The team looks to improve its performance and regain momentum in the upcoming fixtures as the new season progresses.
