Early and personal life

Leidner was born and raised in Rishon LeZion, Israel, to an Israeli family of Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian-Jewish) descent.[2][3][4][1][5]

He also holds a Romanian passport, on account of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.[1][5]

On 2 June, it was reported that he had torn his cruciate ligament and would return to Athens to undergo surgery.[8]

International career

He also plays for Israel's U-21 since 2021.[citation needed]
