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, who has been a key player for the national team, entered the match as a substitute in the 66th minute when his team was trailing 1-0. His presence on the field coincided with Machida Zelvia's comeback, securing the win with two goals from Koki Ogawa in the 75th and 81st minutes.
However, Lavi was forced off the field in the 88th minute due to the injury. This incident occurs 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 injury raises concerns for national team coach Ran Ben Shimon.
