Israel National Football Team to Hold Single Training Session in Kosovo Due to Security Concerns

The Israeli national football team will conduct only one training session in Kosovo next month due to security concerns. This decision comes as part of the fifth round of the Nations League, with the final training session scheduled for November 13th, one day before the match in Pristina. The team's staff learned that, similar to other European locations, players would be confined to their hotel in Pristina, a situation players described as more difficult during their last visit due to four consecutive matches. National coach Ran Ben Shimon will have all the legionnaires and national team players available by the Monday of that week. The team will hold four training sessions at the national team facility in Shefayim before departing for Kosovo and then to Debrecen for the final home match against Austria. The professional staff received an update that player Stav Lemkin has returned to training, and they hope Idan Nahmias will also return as soon as possible after his injury. Lemkin, a defender for Twente, was not called up for the September/October window due to injury. After four games, Israel has only two points, and the upcoming matches will determine their final standing in the league and their seeding for the Euro qualifiers draw in December.
