DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI’S availability for the upcoming international window has been thrown into further doubt after the Hungarian Football Federation revealed the Liverpool co-vice-captain will undergo tests on Monday.

Szoboszlai was substituted in the 69th minute of Sunday’s 3-1 win at Crystal Palace, after which Reds boss Andoni Iraola confirmed the Hungary midfielder was “not 100 per cent” after sustaining a knee issue.

Iraola was unsure what the problem would mean for Szoboszlai’s fitness for the Nations League, nor what Liverpool’s medical team would recommend, but admitted: “I know what I want.”

A statement from the Hungarian Football Federation on X read: “[Szoboszlai], who was substituted in the 69th minute of Liverpool’s match yesterday, is undergoing tests following the usual protocol in such cases.

“We will, of course, keep the public informed of developments as soon as possible!”

Speaking after the win at Selhurst Park, Iraola said: “Dom just had, I don’t know [if it was] a problem, but he definitely was not 100 per cent […]

“I think he extended a little bit the knee, he was fine, but not 100 per cent.

“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], Dom, so touch wood we are in a better place in two weeks.”
