Omri Gandelman's Knee Infection Raises Doubts for Israel National Team
Israeli midfielder Omri Gandelman is training separately from his Italian club Lecce due to a knee infection, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches. The infection is reportedly a long-standing issue that limited his playing time at the end of last season.
Gandelman has played only one minute for Lecce this season, appearing as a substitute in one game and remaining on the bench for the others. He joined Lecce eight months ago from Gent for a fee of three million euros. In 20 appearances for the Italian club, he has scored two goals and provided one assist.
The Israeli national team is scheduled to play four Nations League games next month, starting with an away match against Austria, followed by two games against Ireland and a match against Kosovo. Gandelman's current condition could impact the team's lineup for these crucial fixtures.
