Israeli midfielder Omri Gandelman is gradually returning to play for his Italian club Lecce after an injury sidelined him since the start of the season. Gandelman played 32 minutes in Israel's national team 1-1 draw against Lecce and then featured for 11 minutes in Lecce's match on Sunday, his first significant involvement since the season began. Italian media outlet "Pianeta Lecce" reported positively on his progress, noting his return after weeks of knee injury as a "first positive sign." Coach Eusebio Di Francesco gave him playing time as a substitute, a brief but important appearance for the player. "Gandelman brings a different character to the team's midfielders," the analysis stated, highlighting his ability to attack and reach the penalty area, move the ball, and utilize his physical presence, particularly in aerial duels. While he is unlikely to start immediately, with integration expected to be gradual, he is considered a "very important asset" for Lecce. The club's objective is to reintegrate him at the appropriate time.
