Hapoel Be'er Sheva Midfielder Niv Yehoshua Cleared for Play Ahead of Kiryat Shmona Match

Niv Yehoshua, a midfielder for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, has been cleared to play in the team's upcoming match against Ironi Kiryat Shmona after undergoing medical tests that confirmed he is fit. Yehoshua had a concerning fall during the team's 0-0 draw against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League earlier this week, raising fears about his condition. His tests, conducted on Thursday, all came back normal.

In addition to Yehoshua's availability, coach Ran Kochav will welcome back Eliel Peretz, who has completed a suspension, and Gibril Diop. Both are expected to start as part of a refreshed lineup. However, the team will still be without injured players Lucas Ventura and Itay Rotman.

Adrián Marín, Amir Ganah, and João Victor are also anticipated to feature in the starting eleven. Ofir Davidzada is a potential starter at left-back. The club's stated goal is to secure three points before the upcoming international break, allowing some players to rest afterward. Adrián Marín has also received a call-up to the Peruvian national team for the upcoming international window.

The projected starting lineup includes Ofir Marciano in goal, with a defense of Toni Šunjić, Gibril Diop, and Miguel Vítor, and Ofir Davidzada at left-back. The midfield will consist of Niv Yehoshua, Hemed Kanaan, and Eliel Peretz, supporting a forward line of João Victor, Amir Ganah, and Adrián Marín.
