Israel saw Barcelona talent in Pristina

Orian Goren

Israel will not be able to count on Barcelona talent Orian Goren for matches against Kosovo and Austria in the Nations League.

The 17-year-old was released due to abdominal muscle problems, Israeli media reported on Monday.

Goren was on the bench for Barcelona in El Clasico against Real Madrid last month.

Crystal Palace's 22-year-old Anan Khalaili will not join Israel for the final two matches of Group B3.

Israel faces Kosovo on Saturday in Pristina, and its final match is against Austria three days later.
