Hapoel Be'er Sheva Prepares for Europa League Opener Amidst Roster Changes
Following a league victory, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to begin their Europa League campaign against Dinamo Zagreb in Romania. Coach Ran Kochav is expected to make several changes to the lineup that played on Sunday. The significant return is that of striker Igor Zlatanovic, who has recovered from an injury sustained in the match against Sabach and may start. Defenders Miguel Vítor and Guy Mzrahi are also anticipated to return to the starting eleven after being rested.
However, the team will face several absences. Lucas Ventura and Itay Rotman are sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Eliel Peretz and Djibril Diop are suspended following the 5-2 loss to Sabach. Hamudi Kanaan and Zahy Ahmed might be given starting opportunities. Amankwah Forson, who started the last league match but felt muscle strain, could be benched.
Meanwhile, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is also navigating the transfer window, which closes Wednesday evening. Three players are uncertain: Roi Levi's future is unclear, Yoni Stoyanov might still remain with the club, and Itay Hazut could transfer to M.S. Ashdod. Currently, the club does not anticipate signing any new players before the window closes.
