Szoboszlai injury: what does Liverpool say?

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola said patience is needed over the recurrence of the injury midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai suffered in the weekend win against Brentford. The Reds won this Premier League match 2-1, but the Hungarian captain was taken off in the first half with a hamstring injury.

Szoboszlai had also been unavailable for the two matches before the Brentford game. Iraola said this is not a new injury, but an old problem in the same area that has returned. The manager noted that the injury has not worsened, but the player needs more time to fully recover.

Iraola also said he appreciated the player's desire to be ready for a demanding match against a physical side like Brentford. However, Szoboszlai did not train on Thursday. For this reason, his appearance in the Premier League match against the rising Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday is seen as a very unlikely prospect.
