Orion Goren, a 17-year-old midfielder for Barcelona Athletic, has been promoted to the senior team and may participate in the upcoming El Clásico against Real Madrid. Goren, who plays in Spain's fourth division, trained with the first team ahead of the Sunday match and could be included in the squad. His call-up is reportedly due to an injury sustained by Dani Olmo during a Champions League game, with Olmo expected to be sidelined for a month.
Goren has featured in several Barcelona matches over the summer, including the Joan Gamper Trophy, earning praise from Spanish media and the trust of coach Hansi Flick. The talented midfielder has also become a subject of discussion regarding his future with Israel's national teams. He has played for the youth and U-21 teams but has yet to receive a senior call-up.
With upcoming international fixtures for Israel's senior team against Kosovo and Austria, and the youth team's European Championship qualifiers, coaches Ran Ben Shimon and Ofir Haim are contemplating Goren's integration. The debate centers on whether to bring him into the senior squad now or allow him to continue developing with the strong U-19 team.
