Hapoel Beer Sheva is facing significant lineup concerns ahead of their crucial match against Maccabi Haifa on Monday, with two key players in doubt due to injuries. Right-back Guy Mizrahi is uncertain to play, with a final decision on his availability to be made on match day. He is suffering from a severe hamstring strain, and there is a fear that playing him could worsen the injury. Lucas Ventura is in a similar situation, also considered a major doubt for the game. Additionally, Idan Nahmias remains sidelined with an injury.
A player from the team commented, "We took a resounding slap on Thursday, no doubt. But we haven't forgotten how to play football. We will arrive ready for Sammy Ofer Stadium." The absence of Mizrahi presents a major challenge, as the team lacks a natural replacement for the right-back position.
Coach Ran Kozuch is expected to field a strong starting lineup, with most prominent players set to feature. He plans to save broader rotation for the upcoming Saturday match against Maccabi Petah Tikva. Players like Pedro Amador, Niv Yehoshua, Amankwaa Forson, Eliel Peretz, Igor Zlatanovic, Djibril Diop, and Itay Rotman are anticipated to start. If Miguel Vítor, who has played two consecutive games, feels fit, he will start; otherwise, Rotman and Djibril Diop are likely to take his place.
