Hapoel Beer Sheva is concerned about a potentially serious injury to midfielder Lucas Ventura, who was substituted just six minutes after entering the game in the second half of their 2-1 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem on Sunday. The club hopes it is not a recurrence of a severe hamstring issue and is awaiting test results. Ventura was visibly emotional about the injury and expressed a desire to remain on the field.
The team is also managing other injury concerns. Idan Nachmias continues to deal with a hip injury, while Matan Baltaxa and Younes Malda are expected to return to full training soon. João Victor, who had been suffering from a virus, will also rejoin training.
In other team news, Zahi Ahmed was rested and is expected to start alongside Givon East and Igor Zlatanovic in their upcoming Europa League match against St. Gilloise. Pedro Amador is also anticipated to return to the starting lineup for the game, which will be held in Germany without any spectators from either club.
Ventura and East were previously dropped from the starting lineup due to tardiness for a team meeting, as reported by Sport 5. The club's coach decided not to start them in the match against Hapoel Jerusalem, and they are expected to be fined, concluding the matter.
Despite the injury concerns, the club expressed satisfaction with the team's character and performance in their comeback win. Adiran Ogrisa received praise for his significant contributions, particularly for actions leading to disallowed goals. Amankwaa Forson was also commended, with club sources noting he has yet to show his full potential but is making significant progress.
