Injury Prevents Israeli Midfielder Stav Lemkin's Transfer to Lazio, Coach Confirms Continued Absence

Italian media revealed why Israeli footballer Stav Lemkin's transfer to Lazio did not materialize. Although Lazio had targeted Lemkin, their focus has shifted to Croatian player Josip Šutalo, despite his higher price tag. The key reason for abandoning Lemkin was his injury, which prevented him from being an immediate asset to the team. Lazio sought a player who could contribute in the near term, and Lemkin's ongoing injury made that impossible.

Lemkin remains sidelined due to this injury and will miss Twente's upcoming match against Qarabağ. Twente's coach acknowledged Lemkin's absence but expressed hope that he will soon return to help the Dutch club. The injury has troubled Lemkin for several weeks, delaying his comeback and any potential transfer moves.

This update clarifies the behind-the-scenes factors influencing Lemkin's stalled transfer and his current status with Twente, highlighting the impact of injuries on player transfers and team strategies.
