Tomer Yosefi and Rotem Hatuel (Itzik Blanitzky and Oren Ben Hakon)
One day before returning to Toto Turner Stadium and Hapoel Beer Sheva are excited for the comeback to a facility that closed in June due to severe roof defects. The team players have already held their first training session in five months. For some of the players, those who came this summer, this is their first acquaintance with the stadium which was a real fortress and one of the great symbols of the team’s success in recent years.
But despite the excitement, there is concern on the health side following the infection of Rotem Hatuel and Tomer Yosefi with the corona virus. The first reported further corona weakness and symptoms and came out positive, similar to his friend. Hapoel Beer Sheva conducted a corona test on the other players who have not been infected with the virus so far, in order to rule out further infection. Later, the rest of the results will be obtained, with the two in any case not on the roster.
Back to the stadium theme. “It is impossible to explain how much we have been waiting for this,” they said in Be’er Sheva. “It may be five months, but it feels like a few years. We have already got used to Teddy and we hope that the return will be as soft as possible. ”
The team also said: “Without the crowd, Turner is a completely different thing and the homeliness is not too expressive, but we believe that there is magic to this stadium. As for the game, Hapoel Hadera is a good team with good foreigners like Oda and Sisa, its place does not reflect the potential, it is safe and we recently saw it in the 2: 2 draw we made against them.
As you may recall, in Be’er Sheva they will have to make do tomorrow (Monday, 20:15) against Hadera without the big star, Joshua, following the red card he received against Maccabi Haifa in order not to miss the cup game that was postponed due to the closure. Cynthia Sallich will also be absent, but due to injury. Anthony Varen who felt pain at the start of last week managed to train fully over the weekend and he will return to the squad, as did Jonathan Agudlo who was injured in the shoulder but it turned out it was not something serious. Rotem Hatuel will be absent and will not be on the roster.
The big question ahead of the game is the fitness of the extremist Elton Acultasa, who was injured yesterday in the team’s training at Turner Achilles tendon. The club were worried following the injury, but the Dutchman did a full training session and took part in the tactical practice. Due to the absences, Yossi Aboksis will improvise and make some changes, even in the performance of several players.
In tactical practice, Aboksis tried a set of three brakes, with Briero, Vitor and Kabha playing in the center of defense and the two defenders, Dadia and Goldberg playing as usual on the sides. At the Abacus link he practiced Madmon, Mali and Spori, while in attack they played Accultasa and his thumb who did not complain of pain.
Estimated composition: Ohad Levita; Or Dadia, Mariano Briero, Miguel Vitor, Marwan Kabha, Sean Goldberg; Eli Madmon, Marcelo Mali, Ramsey Spori; Elton Acultasa, Jonathan Thumb.
