Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is facing an uncertain spell after suffering a knee sprain during the Reds’ 3-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.
The Hungarian international picked up the injury during Sunday’s encounter, raising concerns about his availability for Hungary’s upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures.
Hungary Yet to Make Final Decision on Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai is currently a doubt for Hungary’s matches against Georgia on Saturday and Northern Ireland three days later.
The Hungarian Football Association has confirmed that the Liverpool midfielder has undergone medical examinations. The national team’s medical department is now working closely with him in the hope of helping their captain recover in time.
However, Hungary are reportedly prepared to wait until the last possible moment before making a final decision on whether the 26-year-old will feature in either fixture.
His availability will depend on how well he responds to treatment and his recovery over the coming days.
Liverpool Monitoring the Situation Closely
The injury will also be a concern for Liverpool, with an important run of fixtures approaching.
The Reds are expected to have 11 matches remaining before the end of 2026, including a highly anticipated Premier League meeting with Manchester United.
Losing Szoboszlai for an extended period would be a significant setback for Liverpool, considering his importance to the team’s midfield.
The Hungarian has also recently returned from a thigh injury, making this latest setback particularly frustrating.
Before his injury problems this autumn, he had not missed a match through injury since February 2024.
Liverpool Hoping for Positive Injury News
Liverpool will be hoping that Szoboszlai’s knee problem is not serious and that he can return to full fitness without missing too many matches.
For now, Hungary’s decision remains on hold as the medical team continues to assess his condition.
The coming days should provide a clearer picture of whether the Liverpool midfielder will be available for international duty or return to Merseyside to continue his recovery.
Liverpool fans will certainly be hoping their midfield star avoids another lengthy injury absence.
