Like Hlayli: Barcelona player released from Israel national team squad

The Israel Football Association announced that Barcelona midfielder Orian Goren has been released from the Israel national team squad due to injury, similar to the case of Anan Hlayli. His debut will be postponed to March 2027.

The Israel Football Association announced that Barcelona midfielder Orian Goren has been released from the Israel national team squad ahead of the two Nations League matches against Kosovo and Austria. The decision was made in coordination between national team doctor Dr. Udi Kaufman and coach Ran Ben Shimon, after it was found that the player is suffering from an injury. Goren's release raises questions, as just last night he completed 60 minutes for Barcelona's reserve team and even scored a goal. The case is similar to that of Anan Hlayli, who was released from the squad after playing for Crystal Palace. Goren's debut in the national colors will be postponed to March 2027.
