Hapoel Be'er Sheva Faces Player Injuries After Loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is concerned about two player injuries sustained during their recent 4-1 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv at Turner Stadium. Midfielder Lucas Ventura appears to have suffered a torn muscle and will be sidelined for an unspecified period. Defender Itay Rotman also sustained a knee injury during the match and will undergo imaging to determine its severity, with the club hoping it is not significant.
In light of Ventura's injury, the team is reportedly looking to sign an Israeli midfielder, with Yarin Levi of Maccabi Haifa mentioned as a potential target. However, no official offer has been made, and Haifa is reportedly unwilling to sell the player. The club had already been considering strengthening their midfield with an additional Israeli player, independent of Ventura's injury.
Meanwhile, Igor Zlatanovic is expected to be fit for the upcoming match against Hapoel Petah Tikva. Hamudi Kanaan, who was excluded from the squad against Maccabi Tel Aviv, might return to Ran Kozuch's lineup following Ventura's injury. Goalkeeper Mohamed Abu Rumi expressed surprise at being left out of the previous game's squad.
In other team news, Yoni Stoyanov is reportedly close to joining Maccabi Petah Tikva, and Roi Levi may also depart the club.
