Israel National Football Team Includes Injured Striker Tai Baribo for Ireland Match
Despite experiencing groin pain, Israeli national team striker Tai Baribo is expected to be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Ireland. Baribo underwent an MRI on Friday following discomfort, but initial assessments suggest the injury is not serious. While he is unlikely to start, his inclusion provides a boost to the team.
Dor Turgeman is slated to start in the forward position, replacing Seyed Ouwesat, who received a red card in the previous game against Austria. Turgeman is expected to lead the attack, with Liel Abada also potentially featuring in the starting lineup. Coach Alon Hazan is reportedly considering a tactical shift to a three-man defense for the match against Ireland.
The Israeli team traveled to Debrecen, Hungary, on a chartered flight after a morning training session. Players who did not participate in the previous match trained, while others received treatment. Following the game with Ireland, the players will be granted a day and a half of rest.
