Beitar Jerusalem's Yarden Shua Substituted Early Due to Fitness Concerns

Beitar Jerusalem star player Yarden Shua was substituted in the 51st minute during a match against Hapoel Tel Aviv, raising concerns about his fitness. Shua, considered a key player for the team, was replaced as part of a double substitution that also saw Sean Weissman enter the game.

The early substitution was reportedly due to Shua not being fully fit. He had not trained fully in the days leading up to the match and was seen lying on the ground and complaining of pain after coming off the field. Shua had also come off the bench in a previous game against Maccabi Netanya, which Beitar lost 4-1.
