Beram Kayal (wiki) |
Israel national team midfielder
Beram Kayal returned to Scottish club Celtic's starting line-up for their game yesterday (Saturday) against Inverness, after being dropped for their UEFA Chamions League play-off match against Shakhter Karagandy on Tuesday which Celtic lost 2-0. Kayal didn't last very long though as he picked up a thigh injury in the 24th minute and was subbed out of the game which ended 2-2. His injury could be a big blow for Israel national team manager Eli Guttman as he usually plays Kayal in the defending midfield role and Israel have two very important games coming up in their World Cup qualifying campaign, against Russia and Azerbaijan. However, recent reports have suggested that Guttman is thinking of benching Kayal anyway for at least the first of those two games due to the fact that in Israel's last game, a friendly vs Ukraine which Israel lost 2-0, a mistake by Kayal led to the Ukrainians first goal.
Meanwhile in the French top flight Israel national team striker

Maor Melikson was on the pitch for 65 minutes as his team, Valenciennes, were beaten 1-0 by Marseille.
