Manor Solomon speaks ahead of the game against Scotland (Football Association)
The Israeli team will hold its concluding training later tonight (Wednesday) at 21:00 Israel time ahead of tomorrow's important game against Scotland in the Euro 202 playoff semi-finals. Two questions are still open and should be decided tonight at the end of training.
The first is whether Nir Bitton will open as a stopper or Sharan Yeni and the second is who Willi Rotensteiner will choose for the left-back position from Joel Abu Hanna and San Menachem.
Nir Bitton held a full training session for the first time last night after being injured last Thursday in a Celtic game, but only tonight will it be possible to determine at the end of the training session whether Bitton is fit to play.
In the event that it is finally decided between Bitton and Willy Rotensteiner that the high brake will not open, Sharan Yeni will join the squad.
As for the left-back position yesterday, it was Abu Hanna who practiced in the team compared to San Menachem's practice yesterday in this position instead of Taleb Twataha and in tonight's training the national coach will decide who he chooses.
As for Louis Taha who is positive for Corona, he will stay a few more days in Glasgow and will not return with the Israeli team.
The team will leave with the brake a staff member who will assist him during the isolation days at the hotel and next week the team will try to arrange for him to be flown to Israel.

Meanwhile trouble in Scotland: Stuart Armstrong, Kieran Tierney and Ryan Christie will miss the game against Israel after a Corona check.
Armstrong, the Southampton midfielder, was the only one officially found positive, but Tierney (Arsenal stopper) and Christie (Celtic striker) are required to be released for 14 days after being in close contact with him.
The team's physiotherapist and masseur also went into isolation.
Armstrong may be a substitute, but Tierney and Christie (who also scored the penalty against Israel a month ago) are the car players who are considered important in the host's lineup.
In Scotland there is great excitement ahead of the game, alongside such great grief that the stands at Hampden Park will be empty.
The Scots have not advanced to a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup and the motivation to win tomorrow is at its peak, also in light of the fact that Glasgow will host games at Euro 2020.
Steve Clark and his players are under tremendous pressure, "Retiring from the profession. It's a huge game for our country. The pressure is huge, but it's also wonderful. We are happy to be a part of it."
Clark said today that "there are 1-2 more decisions I need to make regarding the squad," but estimates are that he will raise the squad very similar to the one he started 1-1 against Israel a few weeks ago in the League of Nations.
James Forrest, who was then on the right wing, was not included in the squad and Ryan Fraser may be the one to replace him, with Liam Palmer in the picture as well.
Scott is carrying an injury, but Scotland are expected to be fit.
