Israeli Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz Assures Fans Over Wrist Brace, Ready to Play for Southampton

Daniel Peretz, the Israeli goalkeeper for Southampton, addressed concerns about a wrist brace he wore during a recent training match against Eastleigh. Despite the brace's dramatic appearance, Peretz clarified in an interview with English media that he is not suffering from a serious injury. He explained that the brace is purely for protection and that he feels well enough to play and train without issues. Peretz noted that the wrist support is something he has been using since late last season and does not affect his performance.

Earlier this summer, Southampton confirmed Peretz's permanent signing from Bayern Munich following a successful half-season loan. With fears of a long-term absence now dispelled, Peretz is focused on maintaining his strong form and helping Southampton in their campaign to return to the Premier League, a goal they narrowly missed last season. The goalkeeper is set to begin his first full season with the Saints in 2026/27, aiming to build on his previous achievements with the club.
