Beitar Jerusalem Faces Setback as Jordan Shua Remains Ill Ahead of AEK Larnaca Match
Beitar Jerusalem is likely to face AEK Larnaca without one of its key players, Jordan Shua, due to an ongoing viral illness. Shua, who started and played 57 minutes in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League second qualifying round match, has not yet recovered and may not participate in the return leg scheduled for Thursday in Romania.
The first match ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Beitar Jerusalem away against AEK Larnaca. Approximately 3,000 Beitar fans are expected to attend the return match, most arriving in Romania today. Security preparations include special police units and reinforcements from nearby cities to maintain order and prevent disturbances.
A small group of AEK Larnaca supporters, numbering only a few dozen, will be seated in a separate section and will be escorted out first by local police. The team and fans are preparing for a challenging match as they aim to advance further in the Conference League qualifiers.
