Israel coach Ran Ben Shimon faces tactical dilemmas ahead of Thursday's match against Kosovo, with Tai Baribo and Dor Peretz expected to return to the starting lineup.
Israel national football team coach Ran Ben Shimon faces tough tactical decisions ahead of Thursday's crucial match against Kosovo in Debrecen at 21:45.
Unlike previous fixtures against Austria and Ireland, the coach is still weighing whether to deploy a four-man defensive line or three central defenders, with several positions yet to be finalized.
Striker Tai Baribo, who missed the previous games due to a minor injury, has fully recovered and is expected to start. Dor Peretz is also set to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench against Ireland.
The squad will hold its final training session this evening, followed by a press conference where Ben Shimon will address the media for the first time since Sunday's defeat to Ireland.
