Tears of Frustration: Injury Cuts Short Gorodna’s National Team Dream

Hapoel Be’er Sheva midfielder Roei Gorodna’s hopes of representing Israel in their upcoming international friendlies have been dashed after he sustained a knee injury during a recent match. Gorodna, who has been dealing with previous knee issues, suffered a setback that has left his participation in the national team’s games against Belgium, Italy, and France in October uncertain. The injury, coupled with the realization that he would miss these crucial matches, brought tears to Gorodna’s eyes. This setback marks a significant disappointment for Gorodna, who had waited years for a call-up to the national team and was finally included in Ran Ben Shimon’s squad for friendlies in June. He was expected to be called up again for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches.
