Israeli national soccer team defender Or Beloriyan has successfully undergone a cardiac catheterization procedure after experiencing discomfort in recent days. Beloriyan, who currently plays for Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer, shared his experience on Instagram on Friday.

He explained that over the past month, he had been feeling "out of shape," and in the days leading up to the procedure, he experienced chest pains during training. "After in-depth tests, it became clear that I needed a medical procedure that saved my life," Beloriyan stated.

Beloriyan expressed his gratitude for divine providence, calling the timely diagnosis and treatment a "miracle." He also thanked everyone for their concern and well wishes, concluding with a wish for a good and blessed year for the people of Israel.

The 24-year-old defender is recovering and eager to return to the field.
