Barcelona Includes Israeli Prospect Orien Goren in Champions League Squad
Young Israeli talent Orien Goren has been included in Barcelona's expanded squad for their Champions League opener against Feyenoord at Camp Nou. Despite impressing during preseason with the senior team and performing well for the club's reserve squad, Goren will not be part of the final matchday squad and will not play.
Barcelona's final squad for the match consists of 23 players, excluding Eric Garcia who is suspended. New signings like Rodri, Karim Adeyemi, Antony Gordon, and Gabriel Jesus are included.
Goren has garnered significant praise in Spain following his performances. After a recent reserve team match where he provided an assist with his shoulder, Catalan sports outlet 'Sport' lauded him, stating, "The Israeli Goren is gradually becoming the central engine of Barcelona's reserve team." The report also noted that after an impressive preseason with the first team, Juliano Belletti gave him the keys to the reserve squad.
Following their match against Feyenoord, Barcelona's upcoming Champions League fixtures include games against Galatasaray, PSG, Aston Villa, Sabadell, Manchester City, Sporting Lisbon, and Como.
