    I understand why, but I am surprised at who has been left behind.

    I presume this is because he is keeping is squad rotation going - which is great to see.

    Could be travelling separately, or have visa issues, or Club punishment for Sundays post match efforts! Or worse case scenario injury.

    Ummm... where to start with that?

    And it's to stop them playing other teams from middle east I believe.

    If they were not permitted to play in Europe the Israeli teams would have no one to play: which rightly or wrongly is why they are allowed to play in Europe Competition

    My point being that it is not fair that some neanderthals who have no connection to either nation at all, decide to be opinionated for five minutes without giving the slightest **** at any other point in time.

    I thought it was the National team to begin with though? And the reason being to avoid games against neighbouring countries? The club sides just followed with the national team...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Sam McQueen has also travelled (appears in saints snapchat story).

    Replacing Bertrand in the squad then.

    So, Stephens in for Fonte, Olomola in for Austin? Hesketh and Reed as well, perhaps. (all speculation on my part, mind!)

    Israel was originally in the AFC but some Muslim nations refused to play them and so a deal was done to let them play in Europe; although this was not greeted unanimously. I remember this decision taking place but I was younger and some years ago now.

    So Puel intends to rotate for every competition...none of us would expect many changes for the Europa. Shows his faith in the squad and means that more players will get valuable game time. May leave us less susceptible in cases of injury as the season progresses. Proof of the pudding etc.
