Hapoel BS finished last night's fourth game without a win, this time 2: 2 away against Urbani KS, but beyond the battle for the top playoff, the team has quite a few problems to deal with.
The first is around the removal of Portuguese midfielder Joshua in extra time by referee David Foxman.
The referee's report states that the Portuguese allegedly threatened after the dismissal and said: "I will kill you", when in such a situation the player could face a long suspension sentence. "Because a player handed a ball out of a sporting desire to win a game? It indicates a referee who does not understand the game and acted recklessly without any thought."
Joshua will be missing in BS's next game, at home against Hapoel Tel Aviv, but he is not the only one.
Brakeman Hatem 'Abd al-Hamid was injured yesterday and is suffering from a groin strain.
Brakeman Louis Taha will return from a distance and play in his place.
Striker Sagiv Yehezkel, who scored the first goal against Kash, is also in great doubt after injuring his ankle against the Northerners.
BS's list of injured is very long and the team hopes that at least Cintao Sallich and Afarley Rosa will return to the squad on Saturday. "What happens to us with the injuries is great misfortune, for many years there was no such thing," they said in the Negev capital.
