Maccabi Haifa May Include Injured Goalkeeper Omri Glazer in Squad Against Tiberias
Maccabi Haifa is set to host Ironi Tiberias on Tuesday evening, aiming to reverse their recent poor form after two consecutive losses, each conceding three goals. A surprising development emerged as goalkeeper Omri Glazer, who suffered a serious injury last week against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, participated in the final training session and is expected to be fit for the league opener against Hapoel Ramat Gan. This is earlier than initially anticipated.
Midfielder Yarin Levi is also expected 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 rejoin 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 hopes these changes will improve their performance and momentum as they prepare for the upcoming league matches.
