Hapoel Be'er Sheva Aims for Peretz and Ventura Returns After Break

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is closely monitoring the recovery of midfielder Eliel Peretz, who has been sidelined due to severe abdominal and groin muscle pain caused by physical overload. The injury forced him to miss the recent Israel national team gathering, prompting a mandatory rest period without training or matches.

Medical staff and club management expect Peretz to return to full fitness in two weeks, potentially featuring from the bench when Hapoel Be'er Sheva faces Besiktas in the fifth round of the Europa League in Batumi. Following the European fixture, the team will return to domestic action for a crucial away match against Netanya, following their recent league defeat to Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, the club is also tracking the rehabilitation of Brazilian midfielder Lucas Ventura, who has been battling recurring muscle injuries since the start of the season. Ventura traveled to Brazil for specialized rehabilitation and is scheduled to return next week as Hapoel Be'er Sheva resumes training, with club officials optimistic about his availability following the current break.
