Israeli Teen Oriane Goren Makes Barcelona Squad for El Clásico

Seventeen-year-old Israeli midfielder Oriane Goren has officially been included in the Barcelona squad for the El Clásico match against Real Madrid in the Spanish League's 10th round. Goren, a prodigy, becomes the first Israeli to be named in the squad for one of the world's most-watched football games. His inclusion is largely due to the absence of Dani Olmo, who is sidelined with an injury for several weeks. This call-up also signifies the trust placed in Goren by Barcelona coach the Barcelona coach, who has previously given him opportunities in preseason games and included him in first-team training sessions. Goren participated in preparations for the senior team's season, including the Joan Gamper Trophy match, and trained with senior players. The Spanish sports newspaper Marca noted that Goren's inclusion in the squad is a further step in his development, having trained under the German coach on Friday and Saturday. Barcelona's reserve team, Barcelona Atlètic, has seen Goren become a key player, noted for his midfield stability and consistent starting role. A potential call-up for El Clásico is seen as another significant milestone at age 17. Catalan newspaper Sport also published a feature on how the Barcelona coach has taken a liking to Goren, suggesting this is just the beginning for the promising player. In the past, Guy Assulin was part of Barcelona's senior squad and played in the Copa del Rey, but never appeared in a league match for the club.
