Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will undergo tests on a knee injury to determine his fitness for Hungary's Nations League fixtures against Georgia and Northern Ireland. The 26-year-old was substituted after 69 minutes of Liverpool's 3-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Hungarian Football Federation confirmed Szoboszlai is "following the usual protocol" and will provide an update on his availability soon.
Hungary currently sit second in Nations League Group B2, one point behind leaders Northern Ireland, who they face in Budapest on November 17. Prior to that match, Hungary travels to Georgia on Saturday. Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola expressed confidence Szoboszlai will push to be available for his country, stating the player "loves to play with the national team." However, Iraola noted Szoboszlai was "not 100%" when he finished the Palace game and emphasized the need for the player to be careful given recent international break losses.
Szoboszlai, along with Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, missed Liverpool's 3-0 defeat by Manchester City in October after the previous international window. Iraola reiterated his desire to avoid further stress on the playing squad, stating, "The last thing we need now is to lose players in the international games.".
