    Israel suffer 'keeper blow

    Israel suffer 'keeper blow
    Monday March 7th 2005


    ISRAEL's first-choice goalkeeper is likely to miss the World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Tel Aviv on March 26.

    Nir Davidovich is facing possible surgery on a groin injury, which would rule him out of the home matches against Ireland and France in three weeks time.

    The loss of the Maccabi Haifa 28-year-old, an ever-present in unbeaten Israel's Group 4 matches to date, would be a big blow. Davidovich kept a clean sheet against France in Paris in September and saved a penalty in Israel's 2-1 win against Cyprus in Nicosia before Christmas.

    His expected replacement is Racing Satander 'keeper Dudu Anwat, who won his 14th cap in a 3-3 draw with Croatia in Jerusalem last month.

    Their second choice is first choice at Racing so they should be ok.

    Some of the israeli fans over at bigsoccer.com are worried about their backup goalkeeper because I guess he's got the Roy Carroll syndrome. He let in 3 against Croatia in a friendly last month.
