Peretz an injury doubt for Portsmouth clash after pulling out of Israel squad

Southampton goalkeeper Daniel Peretz is an injury doubt for the upcoming match against Portsmouth after withdrawing from the Israel national squad. The 26-year-old missed Israel's game against Kosovo due to a groin issue and will not participate in their remaining Nations League fixtures.

Peretz is returning to Southampton for treatment on what is reportedly a slight muscle strain rather than a tear. If Peretz is ruled out of the derby on October 11, head coach Tonda Eckert will need to choose between goalkeepers George Long and Aaron Ramsdale.
