Leeds United are not likely to be concerned with Manor Solomon's hamstring issues at the start of the season, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.

The injury expert has assessed the Israel international's fitness record this season as he joined on loan from Tottenham.

He has been among the first names on the team sheet for Daniel Farke, with over 20 goal contributions in all competitions.

Solomon medical could be waived if he moves to Elland Road

The 25-year-old moved to Elland Road in the summer without an option to buy so they have to negotiate with Spurs over a transfer fee.

It's understood that there is expected to be competition for his services in the upcoming transfer window.

In case he does end up joining Leeds, they could waive his medical, as he has been under the supervision of their medical staff all season.

Manor Solomon has done well for Leeds this past season.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds NewsDr Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and a Sports Scientist, said about Solomon: "He had a hamstring issue at the start of the season, but that was a relatively minor one and he was back shortly.

"That does not seem to be an issue that will be flagged in the pre-transfer checks, as he’s been injury-free since then.

"If signed permanently, Leeds would likely waive the medical."

Leeds United may find it tough to sign Solomon

Signing Solomon permanently will be something most, if not all, Leeds fans want this summer.

The Israel international has been among their best players this season and played a key role in getting them the title and promotion.

However, a permanent move to Leeds could be a complicated transfer to pull off, even though his injury record seems fine, per Dr Brar.

It’s understood that he is not on board with moving to Leeds despite them securing Premier League status.

The 49ers will certainly have to go above and beyond to try to convince him to sign.
