A month before the World Cup qualifiers: Concern for the Israeli team about the state of the brakes

Rotensteiner is building on Tibi, Bitton and Alhamid in the center of defense, but the situation is far from optimal.

The Celtic player has been absent for three weeks due to injury and will only return at the beginning of March, while Alhamid returned to action, but it is not certain that he will serve as a brake at Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Watch: Sharan Yeni announces retirement from the Israeli national team and says goodbye to the players (Football Association)

Great concern for the Israeli team about the situation of the brakes, about a month before the start of the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign. Willy Rotensteiner and his players will host Denmark and Scotland on March 25 and 28, and on March 31 will host Moldova for the third round.



The Austrian coach will continue to play in a set of three brakes, as the Israeli team has played throughout the last two years and the plan is for the defense center to be staffed by Eitan Tibi, Nir Bitton and Hatem Abdel Hamid.

While Tibi has been in good shape lately, the concern comes from the other two.

    Listen to the experts' recommendation

Bitton injured in loss to Celtic Lest.

Miran in late January, suffered an ankle injury and was not included in his squad for more than three weeks.

Although he was on Celtic's list to face Ross County yesterday, he was not included in the final squad in the end and the Israeli team received messages that he will fully recover in just about two weeks.



Alhamid, who has become one of the best players on the team in the last two years, has played little for Celtic since the beginning of October, before returning to Israel and signing with Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Yesterday he returned to the pitches when he came in as a substitute in the cup game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, but he will not act as a brake.

The Israeli team hopes that by the end of next month, he will accumulate minutes in the center of defense.



One of Rotensteiner's problems is also the depth in the center of defense.

Sharan Yeni has retired from the team and Uriel Degani is not convincing at Betar Jerusalem. Brakes who play regularly and are in good shape, players such as Ofri Arad, Joel Abu Hanna and Idan Nahmias, are inexperienced in the Israeli senior team and each has one appearance. Or Balorian, Rotensteiner watched quite a few of his games for the young team and Maccabi Petah Tikva, himself still lacking experience in the European arena and even in the Premier League.
