  • Defender Itay Rotman is fit to play after recovering from a ligament strain.
  • The team faces a busy schedule in the league and Europa League.
  • The club is seeking approval for away fans in a European match.
  • Other players' fitness will be evaluated before the next game.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva has received positive news regarding player availability as the international break concludes. Defender Itay Rotman has recovered from a collateral ligament strain and is fit to play in the upcoming Israeli Premier League match against Tiberias on Saturday. Rotman participated in a full training session, signaling his complete recovery.

In addition to Rotman's return, fellow player Guy Mizrahi will be evaluated upon the national team's return. The condition of Eliel Peretz, who played four full matches for the national team, will also be assessed to determine his fatigue level and potential starting position. Lucas Ventura is also expected to be available.

Looking ahead to a busy schedule that includes both league play and the Europa League, the club is also seeking approval for away fans to attend their match against AZ Alkmaar. If this is not granted, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is considering requesting that no fans be allowed at all, citing potential unsportsmanlike conduct and unfairness.
