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 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 away against Kosovo in Pristina and another in Debrecen against Austria.
This decision comes after the Israeli U-21 team lost its chance to qualify for the European Championship, following a draw with Norway. Previously, an agreement between Ben Shimon and the Olympic team coach, Guy Luzon, 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, considered a significant prospect at Barcelona's La Masia academy, has been closely monitored by Ben Shimon for some time. The national team coach is reportedly impressed by the faith shown in the young Israeli by Barcelona and coach Hansi Flick.
