Stranded in a Warzone: Spurs Monitor Manor Solomon Amid Iran-Israel Tensions
Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon is currently stranded in Israel following escalating military conflict between Israel and Iran — just days after celebrating his wedding.
The 25-year-old Israeli international tied the knot with long-term partner Dana Voshina last Thursday, only to find themselves trapped in the country 24 hours later when Israel closed its airspace to civilian flights following retaliatory strikes from Iran.
✈️ Grounded by War, Watched by Spurs
Solomon, who is expected to return for pre-season training with Spurs in early July, has been in constant communication with the North London club.
“We are in regular dialogue with all our players regarding their wellbeing and welfare,”
said a Tottenham spokesperson.
The club has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and offering full support.
⚽ From Premier League Hopes to Regional Chaos
Solomon joined Spurs in 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk, but a serious knee injury saw his debut season cut short after just six appearances.
After short-term loans at Fulham and Leeds United, Solomon found his rhythm again — scoring 10 goals in 39 Championship matches and helping Leeds secure promotion back to the Premier League.
His return to Spurs this summer was expected to be a fresh start — now it's overshadowed by global headlines and rising tensions in the Middle East.
💍 A Wedding, Then a War
Solomon and Voshina married on June 12th — less than 24 hours before Israel launched strikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities. Since then, both countries have engaged in aerial exchanges, forcing Israeli authorities to ground civilian flights indefinitely.
As things stand, Solomon’s ability to rejoin his club on time remains uncertain, though Spurs appear committed to his safety and readiness.
🛑 A Difficult Balancing Act
This is yet another example of footballers caught in the crosshairs of global geopolitics — where careers, families, and personal safety become entwined with war headlines.
Tottenham, for now, remains silent on any contingency plans. But one thing is clear: Solomon’s pre-season journey is about more than just football.
