Diary

Tuesday, 13 March 2007 - Chelsea teenager Ben Sahar has been named in the 24-man Israel squad for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against England and Estonia later this month.  The 17-year-old striker made his debut against Ukraine in February and is in the squad with Hapoel Tel Aviv's Dani Bondarv, who earns his first call-up.  Bolton midfielder Idan Tal and Maccabi Haifa striker Roberto Colautti are also named, even though both are banned.

Tuesday, 20 March 2007 - Yaniv Katan will miss the Euro 2008 Group E qualifying matches because of a broken rib.  Katan picked up the injury while playing for Maccabi Haifa in a league match on Sunday. Coach Kashtan has not named a replacement for the experienced midfielder and appeared to rule out a late recall for Beitar Jerusalem's Michael Zandberg whom he surprisingly dropped when he announced the squad last week.
