Hapoel Be'er Sheva Midfielder Rotman Out Weeks With Knee Injury
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is facing significant injury concerns following their 4-1 loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Midfielder Itay Rotman suffered a severe strain of the collateral ligament in his knee and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, likely returning after the international break. Lucas Ventura, another player, appears to have a torn hamstring and will also miss an unspecified period.
These injuries have prompted the club to seek a new Israeli midfielder. Yarin Levy of Maccabi Haifa has been mentioned as a potential target, though no official contact has been made and Haifa is reportedly unwilling to sell. Be'er Sheva management felt the need to strengthen the midfield with an Israeli player even before Ventura's injury.
In other team news, Igor Zlatanovic is expected to be fit for the upcoming match against Hapoel Petah Tikva. Hamudi Kanaan may return to the squad after Ventura's injury. Moamen Abu Rumi expressed surprise at being left out of the lineup against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Yoni Stoyanov is nearing a move to Maccabi Petah Tikva, and Roi Levi might also depart the club.
