Hapoel Beer Sheva is pleased with their 2-1 comeback victory over Hapoel Jerusalem on Sunday at Turner Stadium, praising the team's character in the second half. Forward Adiran Ogrisa received accolades for his performance despite not scoring, with club sources noting his "tremendous actions" on disallowed goals. Amankwaa Forson and Igor Zlatanovic also drew praise, with Forson said to be showing "great progress" and "not even half of his potential yet."
However, concerns have arisen regarding midfielder Lucas Ventura. Ventura, who was reportedly dropped from the starting lineup along with Javon East for being late to a meeting, entered the game at the start of the second half and was substituted just six minutes later. The club hopes it is not a severe hamstring injury and awaits further tests. Ventura appeared emotional at the end of the match due to the injury, having wanted to continue playing.
In other injury news, Idan Nahmias is still sidelined with a hip injury. Zahi Ahmed was rested and is anticipated to start alongside East and Zlatanovic against St. Gilloise in the Europa League on Thursday. Pedro Amador is expected to return to the starting lineup for that match, which will be held in Germany without fans from either club.
Regarding the suspension of Ventura and East, which was previously reported, coach Ran Kozuch decided not to start them. The players are expected to be fined, concluding the matter.
