  • Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Guy Mazarhi and Lucas Ventura are doubtful for the Maccabi Haifa game due to injury.
  • Mazarhi's potential absence is a major blow as there is no natural right-back replacement.

  • Coach the coach plans limited rotation against Maccabi Haifa, saving it for a later match.
  • Several players are expected to start, with defensive options dependent on Miguel Vítor's fitness.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is facing significant lineup concerns for their upcoming match against Maccabi Haifa, with key players Guy Mazarhi and Lucas Ventura in doubt due to injuries. Mazarhi is suffering from a severe hamstring strain, and a final decision on his participation will be made on the day of the game, with fears that playing could worsen his injury. Ventura is in a similar uncertain situation. Additionally, Idan Nahmias remains sidelined with an injury.

The absence of Mazarhi, a natural right-back, presents a particular challenge as there is no direct replacement in the squad, which coach the coach considers a major blow. Despite these setbacks, one player expressed confidence, stating, "We received a resounding slap on Thursday, no doubt. But we haven't forgotten how to play football. We will arrive prepared for Sammy Ofer Stadium."

the coach is expected to field a strong starting lineup for the Maccabi Haifa game, with less rotation than usual. He plans to save broader squad rotation for the subsequent match against Maccabi Petah Tikva on Saturday. Players like Pedro Amador, Niv Yehoshua, Amankwaa Forson, Eliel Peretz, Igor Zlatanovic, Djibril Diop, and Itay Rotman are anticipated to start.

Regarding the defense, if Miguel Vítor, who has started the last two games, feels fit to play, he will start. Otherwise, Rotman and Djibril Diop are the likely options to fill in. The team received the injury news on Thursday, just before their significant encounter.
