Moscow: Two Chechen football players have departed for medical check ups
at an Israeli club where reports of their signings led to racist
displays, their current team said Wednesday.
Reports that the two Terek Grozny players were to sign for Beitar
Jerusalem, the only one of Israel's top clubs to have never
fielded an Arab player, led to displays of anti-Muslim sentiment
at a match Saturday and calls for Beitar to remain "pure".
Striker Zaur Sadaev, 23, and midfielder Dzhabrail Kadiev, 19,
"headed to Israel today to continue their medical examinations and
sign contracts with Beitar Jerusalem", Terek said in a website
statement.
The two players will be on loan at Beitar until May, Terek added.
Neither has managed to hold down a regular first-team place under
Stanislav Cherchesov.
Both players played in a friendly between Beitar and Terek earlier
this month, after which transfer negotiations began.
Following condemnation from the Israeli FA and leading politicians
after the racist displays at Saturday's game against Bnei Yahuda,
Beitar were fined 50,000 shekels ($13,400) by the FA and ordered
to temporarily shut off the hardcore fans' area at their stadium.
The punishment was reportedly mitigated because the FA said Beitar
had begun to act against racist fans.
Beitar has previously signed one Muslim player, Nigerian defender
Ibrahim Nadalla, who left soon after his arrival in 2005 after
being subjected to a barrage of anti-Muslim and racist chants from
the team's fans.
Beitar are fourth in the Israeli league and challenging for a
place in European competition next season.
