Bnei Sakhnin count the cost of losing Eli David
15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The Almog Refaelov story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Almog Refaelov signs something — a contract at Bnei Sakhnin or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
In brief
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Ahmed Salman
