The Israeli national football team faces a blow ahead of their crucial match against Kosovo on Thursday, as starting goalkeeper Daniel Peretz has been ruled out due to injury. Peretz, who has started the last two games for the national team and conceded six goals in that span, will be replaced by Omri Glazer.
Glazer, the goalkeeper for Maccabi Haifa, has 23 caps for the national team. His last appearance was in a friendly against Albania, which Israel won 1-0. Peretz has made 14 appearances for Israel during his career.
This injury comes after a disappointing loss to Ireland in the previous match. Israel is seeking its first points in the current campaign against Kosovo.
In addition to the goalkeeping change, coach Ran Ben Shimon is reportedly planning a significant defensive shift, intending to deploy three center-backs: Idan Nachmias, Nikita Stoyanov, and Raz Shlomo.
