Marked for Chibuike Emmanuel

Squad

A fracture rules Ahmad Abdollahzadeh out for 33 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bnei Yehuda will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Ofek Antman: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bnei Yehuda have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Bnei Yehuda turn down Kokand 1912 for Sahar Hershkovich

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Real improvement from Chibuike Emmanuel at Bnei Yehuda

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Chibuike Emmanuel is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Stav Nachmani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bnei Yehuda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Bnei Yehuda against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

0‑1 to Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yonas Malede

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Loan watch

Amit Harel wants to come home

“I did not go to Hapoel Acre to sit and watch. I want to come back to Bnei Yehuda and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Market

Ravve Assayag is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Bnei Yehuda has been clear about where Ravve Assayag stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

A fracture rules Ahmad Abdollahzadeh out for 63 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bnei Yehuda will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Or Yitzhak puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bnei Yehuda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Eyes on Bruno Paulo again

The phone has started ringing about Bruno Paulo again, and this time the name on the line is Hapoel Haifa. Bnei Yehuda are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Chibuike Emmanuel is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Stav Nachmani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bnei Yehuda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Yonas Malede falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Ahmad Abdollahzadeh breaks a bone — 108 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 108 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Bnei Yehuda sink to position 14

12 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market

Dani Amerr asks to leave Bnei Yehuda

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Raz Nahmias out for 42 days

The medical room confirms 42 days on the sidelines for Raz Nahmias, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Chibuike Emmanuel is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Bnei Yehuda

Bruno Paulo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
