Ourian Goren, an 18-year-old rising star in Israeli football and a player for Barcelona's youth academy, has been released from the Israeli national team's squad for the upcoming games against Kosovo and Austria due to an injury. The decision was made in coordination with the national team doctor, Udi Kaufman, and coach Ran Ben Shimon.
Goren, who has been a regular starter for Barcelona Athletic and has twice been included in the senior Barcelona squad, was unable to join the team for the current international window. His debut with the senior national team will now be postponed until at least March.
Despite his potential, Goren's future national team affiliation has drawn interest from the Czech Republic, as he is eligible to play for them through his mother's heritage. Pavel Nedved, a prominent figure in Czech football, confirmed that an approach had been made. However, sources close to Goren have stated his preference is to represent Israel.
Goren has been a consistent player for Israel's youth teams, making his debut for the U-21 team under coach Guy Luzon in the previous international window. His injury means his first senior cap will have to wait.
