Israeli Midfielder Neta Lavi Injured in Japanese League Match
Israeli midfielder Neta Lavi sustained an injury during his team Machida Zelvia's 2-1 victory over Kawasaki Frontale in the Japanese league on Wednesday. The extent of the injury remains unclear.
Lavi entered the match as a substitute in the 66th minute when his team was trailing 1-0. During his time on the field, Machida Zelvia managed to secure a comeback victory with two goals from Koki Ogawa in the 75th and 81st minutes. However, Lavi was forced to leave the game in the 88th minute due to his injury.
The injury comes less than a month before the Israeli national team is scheduled to play four matches in the Nations League against Austria, Kosovo, and two games against Ireland, marking the start of the group stage. The national team's coach, Ran Ben Shimon, now faces a potential concern regarding Lavi's availability.
