Southampton Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz Spotted With Hand Injury Ahead of New Season

As the 2026/27 football season approaches, Southampton FC is preparing to challenge for promotion to the Premier League once again. During the club's preseason friendly against lower-league Eastleigh on July 18, Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz was notably absent from the squad. Later, he was seen watching the match with a bandage wrapped around his hand, raising concerns about a possible injury. Alfie House, a senior Southampton reporter, expressed hope that the injury is not serious. Earlier this summer, Southampton confirmed Peretz's contract extension following a successful previous season, during which he became a fan favorite. The club and supporters are now looking forward to his contributions in the upcoming campaign as they aim for promotion.
