Injured Defender Stav Lemkin to Miss Upcoming National Team Matches
Israeli national team defender Stav Lemkin is expected to miss the upcoming Nations League matches due to an ongoing pelvic inflammation injury. The 23-year-old Twente center-back has been sidelined since playing against Ferencváros earlier in the season and has not yet returned to his Dutch club's lineup. His return to training is tentatively hoped for within two weeks, but there is no definitive timeline for his recovery.
Lemkin became a key player for Twente last season, making 25 league appearances. He previously played for Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk and then to the Netherlands. The national team is scheduled to begin its Nations League group stage with four games starting September 24th against Austria, followed by matches against Ireland and Kosovo.
