Security Situation In Israel Prevents Ejide From Joining Hapoel Beer Sheva

The security situation in Israel has prevented Nigeria international Austin Ejide from returning to Hapoel Beer Sheva, ahead of their match up with NK Split of Croatia on Thursday in the Europa League, according to reports in Israel.

The former Gabros, Nnewi custodian was due to arrive Israel yesterday, Saturday to begin preparations for the second qualifying round fixture.

But management of the Camels has authorized the Super Eagle to join the team in Croatia few days leading up to the clash.

Hapoel Beer Sheva, who qualified to represent Israel in the Europa League after finishing runners-up in the League, were supposed to host the first leg tie before UEFA reversed the two games, with the Croatians welcoming the team first after the ruling.

Austin Ejide, who was in goal 33 times last season, is presently in Warsaw, Poland training on his own.
