Manor Solomon set for Israel milestone after West Ham impact

Manor Solomon could reach a major international milestone during the break after being named in Israel’s squad for four Nations League fixtures.

The West Ham United winger currently sits on 49 senior caps, meaning his next appearance will be his 50th for his country.

Israel begin their Nations League campaign away to Austria on Thursday 24 September before facing the Republic of Ireland, Kosovo and Ireland again.

His influence continued against Millwall, where his cross allowed Konstantinos Mavropanos to head home the equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
