Hapoel Be'er Sheva Striker Zlatanovic Out Against Hapoel Haifa Due to Groin Sensitivity

Hapoel Be'er Sheva's forward, Igor Zlatanovic, is not expected to play in the upcoming match against Hapoel Haifa due to groin sensitivity. He did not train with the team as a result of the issue. In Zlatanovic's absence, Javon East is anticipated to start as the striker, with Mofeed Abu Rumi also set to feature in the starting lineup after returning from suspension. Miguel Vitor might be included in the starting eleven, while Idan Nahmias, who officially signed yesterday, is likely to be included in the squad for the first time.

Zahi Ahmed will be absent due to suspension. Hapoel Be'er Sheva will host Hapoel Haifa at Turner Stadium on Wednesday, following their opening 2-1 victory against Hapoel Ramat Gan. The two teams previously met in the Toto Cup, with Hapoel Haifa emerging victorious. Be'er Sheva is expected to field a significantly stronger lineup this time, as their previous encounter was considered a formality during their Champions League qualifying campaign.
