Dominik Szoboszlai has added a bit of spark to Liverpool’s midfield

Dominik Szoboszlai, a midfield player valued at £60 million, will be sidelined for Liverpool’s crucial forthcoming cup matches against Arsenal and Fulham due to injury, according to Jurgen Klopp.

Szoboszlai was substituted during Liverpool’s victory over Newcastle on Monday. As a result, he will miss Sunday’s FA Cup third-round match at Arsenal as well as the Carabao Cup semifinal first-leg on Wednesday at Anfield against Fulham.

After joining RB Leipzig, Hungarian international captain Szoboszlai has had a fantastic debut campaign in England. Alexis Mac Allister, who is healthy again, is expected to take Szoboszlai’s spot.

This is Liverpool’s inaugural visit to the United Arab Emirates without Mo Salah and Wataru Endo, who departed to represent their nations in the Asian Cup and the FIFA World Cup, respectively.

It’s his muscle, hamstring. How long? We have to see,’

‘Dom is very positive. He doesn’t have a lot of pain but we have to wait a little bit. No chance for Sunday or Wednesday and then we will see after that.

‘Hopefully he might be back (after next week) but we don’t know.’

‘If I said if I wish you good luck it would be a lie!’ joked Klopp who would like them to return to Merseyside as soon as possible

Even though Klopp knew that the double absence would ultimately occur, the Liverpool manager is now dealing with a serious injury concern that he was not prepared for.

Dominik Szoboszlai hobbled off during Monday night’s 4-2 victory over Newcastle, and Klopp has now stated he will at the very least miss the following two games.

Due to a shoulder injury sustained while playing for Scotland, Andy Robertson was replaced in the starting lineup by the Greek international. Speaking of international teams, Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah will be absent over the coming weeks due to tournament duty for Egypt and Japan, respectively.
