Overview
- The midfielder was withdrawn in the 69th minute of Liverpool's 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday after complaining of a knee issue and will have scans on Monday to assess the injury.
- Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola said Szoboszlai was 'not 100 per cent' at full-time and that both Liverpool's and Hungary's medical teams will review the scans before any decision on international release is made.
- Before his substitution Szoboszlai delivered the free-kick that led to Alexis Mac Allister's opening goal, underlining the immediate tactical impact on Liverpool if he is ruled out.
- Szoboszlai recently returned from a hamstring problem, which raises concern for both club and country over his short-term fitness and the risk of recurring setbacks.
- If the scans restrict his travel he could miss Hungary's Nations League fixtures against Georgia and Northern Ireland, and Liverpool have signalled a cautious approach to avoid further player absences during the international break.
