Southampton goalkeeper Daniel Peretz has withdrawn from the Israel national squad after suffering a groin injury, putting his availability for the upcoming South Coast derby in doubt. Peretz has returned to Staplewood for assessment and treatment, with reports describing the withdrawal as a precautionary measure following a slight muscle strain rather than a tear.
