Premier League / Haifa's Boccoli out for season
By Moshe Harush

Maccabi Haifa is assuming that its Brazilian midfielder, Gustavo Boccoli, will not return this season, and will in effect resume playing only next season. The midfielder is suffering from multiple injuries - severe strains in muscles in his left hip and ankle and a partial tear in a muscle in his right hip - and the club prefers that he undergo a prolonged rehabilitation period.

Besides Boccoli, Lior Rafaelov will also miss tomorrow's Premier League match against Hapoel Kfar Sava. Rafaelov is ill and has not trained all week. Haifa was disappointed to hear about the serious injury to Kiryat Shmona's Yero Bello, who was supposed to return to Haifa this summer. Bello underwent surgery yesterday to set a break in his right leg and is expected to be out for at least half a year.

Sources at Haifa were assured by Israel Football Association officials yesterday that their Toto Cup win this season would not mean that the club will compete in the Intertoto Cup. Only the team that finishes fourth in the league will compete in the lower-tier European competition.
