Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz has been declared fit to play for Southampton after a recent injury scare that worried fans and reporters. Peretz, who was sidelined from the Israeli national team due to a minor injury, had been under observation by his club, Southampton, during the international break. The team is set to host Portsmouth on Sunday, and coach Tunde Eckert confirmed on Thursday that Peretz has returned to training and is expected to be available for the match.
This news brought relief to the club's supporters and media. Reporter Alfie House noted the positive development, stating, "Kyle Larein, Daniel Peretz, and Casper Jander all trained today, this week is only getting better." However, a recent incident caused a brief moment of alarm among fans, highlighting Peretz's importance to the team. Two days prior, Peretz visited a young Southampton fan who had undergone open-heart surgery. A photo from this visit, posted on Twitter, led some fans to mistakenly believe Peretz himself was in a hospital, prompting concerned comments like, "Did you think it was Peretz for a moment?!" and "Posting a picture of Peretz in the hospital at a time like this?" The club's fan pages also saw similar reactions, underscoring the anxiety surrounding his fitness.
