Solomon named on Israel bench amid back concerns

Manor Solomon was named on Israel's bench against the Republic of Ireland. That answers the immediate selection question after earlier reports had put his availability in doubt with a back problem. It does not establish why he was left out of the starting XI.

Claret & Hugh says Solomon had played 253 minutes across three internationals in eight days. An unnamed West Ham insider told the outlet he was ‘in a lot of pain’, and the outlet reports back spasms. Neither account supplies a confirmed diagnosis or the result of the examination previously reported.
