Maccabi Haifa announced on Tuesday that midfielder Manuel Benson has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a torn meniscus following an MRI scan. This confirmed the club's earlier concerns after Benson was injured during the Toto Cup ranking match against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona. The club stated that Benson will begin treatment and rehabilitation under medical supervision and wished him a speedy and full recovery, pledging support throughout his rehabilitation process.
