Hapoel Be'er Sheva Faces Challenges With Key Player Injuries
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is preparing for upcoming matches without two key players, midfielder Lucas Ventura and defender Itay Rotman, due to injuries. Ventura is sidelined with a minor hamstring tear, while Rotman has a knee ligament strain.
Both players are expected to miss at least two league games, including a match against Hapoel Petah Tikva and another against Hapoel Haifa, as well as a Europa League fixture against Dinamo Zagreb. The club hopes for their return after the international break, targeting a match on October 10th.
Coach Ran Kochav is adjusting his plans, with midfielder Yoni Stoyanov, initially slated for loan, now expected to stay longer. Stoyanov might even be included in the squad for the Hapoel Petah Tikva game, as the team will also be without Eliel Peretz, who received a red card. Meanwhile, Hamodi Kanaan is set to return to the lineup.
In transfer news, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is monitoring Maccabi Haifa midfielder Yarin Levi, facing competition from Beitar Jerusalem. The club is also seeking to strengthen its squad with another Israeli midfielder and potentially a defender following Rotman's injury.
