Dominik Szoboszlai sustained a knee issue during Liverpool's 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Independent reported that he could miss Hungary's games in the upcoming international break.
Szoboszlai withdrawn and tested
Szoboszlai was withdrawn in the 69th minute. A statement posted by the Hungarian Football Federation on social media read: "(Szoboszlai), who was substituted in the 69th minute of Liverpool’s match yesterday, is undergoing tests following the usual protocol in such cases."
The federation added: "We will, of course, keep the public informed of developments as soon as possible!"
Liverpool's goals at Crystal Palace
Szoboszlai delivered the free-kick for Alexis Mac Allister to score Liverpool's opening goal. Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal of the season after the interval, Alexander Isak made it 3 and Eddie Nketiah scored a stoppage-time penalty for Crystal Palace.
Hungary fixtures ahead
Hungary are due to face Georgia and Northern Ireland. Speaking after the win at Selhurst Park, Reds boss Andoni Iraola said: "So he has to be careful to see if he can play with the national team or not, but also hope that it doesn’t happen like the other international break when we lost Alex (Alexander Isak), Cody (Gakpo) and Dom, so touch wood we are in a better place in two weeks."
Iraola added: "I know that he will do everything to go because he loves playing with the national team."
Club assessment planned
Iraola said: "I think he extended a little bit the knee, he was fine, but not 100 per cent."
Asked what he believed the Reds medical staff would recommend, Iraola replied: "I know what I want, but I also have to understand the national teams." He added: "Also, I am sure that if he is fine, he will want to go, but I am not sure if it is going to be fine."
