Maccabi Haifa Goalkeeper Omri Glazer Slightly Injured in Car Accident, Club Considers Trade for Kerem Jabir

Maccabi Haifa's goalkeeper Omri Glazer was involved in a minor car accident on his way to training on Thursday, resulting in light injuries. Although Glazer, who already suffers from knee pain, was hurt, the club confirmed the accident was not serious. For precaution, Glazer will undergo comprehensive medical tests, with hopes that no serious issues will be found. He was not expected to start in the upcoming Saturday match against Bnei Sakhnin, as Glen Alwin is set to be the first-choice goalkeeper to avoid risking Glazer's condition ahead of the league's start.

Separately, Maccabi Haifa is exploring the possibility of acquiring Kerem Jabir from Maccabi Netanya. The club views Jabir as a potential replacement for Liel Batai and as an option to play as a center-back if needed. However, Maccabi Netanya has so far rejected Haifa's offers. Haifa is considering whether to improve their proposals or abandon the pursuit, with a final decision expected in the coming days. The club is interested in a deal involving both Jabir and Omer Nir'on and is willing to include Zohar Zasno and Peter Agba in the negotiations.
