Orrian Goren, a 17-year-old midfielder for Barcelona's reserve team, is expected to receive a call-up to the senior Israel national football team. The news was reported by Sport 5, indicating that Goren will join the squad for upcoming matches. Coach Ran Ben Shimon plans to include Goren in the team for two games next month: one against Kosovo in Pristina and another against Austria in Debrecen.
This decision comes after the Israel U-21 team lost its chance to qualify for the European Championship, following a draw with Norway. An agreement between Ben Shimon and the Olympic team coach, Guy Luzon, had previously prioritized Goren's playing time with the U-21s as long as they had a chance to reach the Euros. With that possibility gone, Goren is now slated to join the senior team.
Goren, who plays for La Masia, is considered a significant prospect. Coach Ben Shimon has been monitoring his progress for some time and recognizes the faith placed in the young Israeli by Barcelona and coach Hansi Flick.
