Szoboszlai injury latest: Hungary assess knee issue after Liverpool duty
Dominik Szoboszlai is at the centre of an injury scare this week after picking up a knee problem during Liverpool's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, with his Hungary squad now working to assess whether he can feature for them.
This Is Anfield reports that Hungary are doing "everything possible" to have Szoboszlai available, suggesting the national team are keen to keep hold of him for their upcoming fixtures despite the knock (This Is Anfield). The Liverpool Echo adds that Hungary have since released a fresh statement giving an update on his fitness, describing it as a decision following Liverpool's setback with the midfielder (Liverpool Echo).
Liverpool.com goes further on the details, confirming that Szoboszlai has undergone medical tests with the Hungary camp and will remain with the squad despite the doubts over his fitness, with the knee injury traced directly back to the win over Palace (Liverpool.com).
Taken together, the three reports broadly agree on the key facts: Szoboszlai picked up a knee injury in the Palace game, there were genuine doubts over whether he'd be fit to play for Hungary, and after assessment he has been kept involved with the squad rather than sent back to Liverpool. This Is Anfield and the Echo frame it as Hungary pushing hard to use him, while Liverpool.com's medical-tests detail suggests the call was made on fitness grounds rather than simply convenience.
Elsewhere, the Liverpool Echo's John Aldridge has weighed in through his weekly column, saying he doesn't agree with how the Szoboszlai situation has been handled, while also praising Alexis Mac Allister in the same piece (Liverpool Echo). For Liverpool supporters, the obvious concern is what this knee issue means for Szoboszlai's availability once he returns from international duty, with his club future involvement now the thing to watch closely in the coming days.
