Hapoel Be'er Sheva is expressing concern over a potential serious injury to midfielder Lucas Ventura following their 2-1 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem. Ventura, who had been dropped from the starting lineup along with Gavan East for arriving late to a meeting, entered the match at the start of the second half and was substituted just six minutes later. The club hopes it is not another severe hamstring injury and awaits further tests.

Despite the injury scare, the club was pleased with the team's character and comeback in the second half. Forward Adiran Ugriza received praise for his significant contributions to the goals, even though one was disallowed. Amankwaa Forson and Igor Zlatanovic also drew commendations, with Forson noted to be progressing significantly and showing only a fraction of his potential.

In other injury news, Idan Nachmias is still sidelined with a hip issue, while Younes Melda and João Victor, who had been dealing with a virus, are expected to return to full training soon. Zahi Ahmed was rested and is anticipated to start alongside East and Zlatanovic in the upcoming Europa League match against Saint-Gilloise in Germany, which will be played without fans. Pedro Amador is also expected to return to the starting lineup.

Regarding the disciplinary issue, coach Ran Kozuch decided not to start Ventura and East after their late arrival to a team meeting. The players are expected to be fined, which is anticipated to conclude the matter.
