Liverpool will be sweating over the fitness of Dominik Szoboszlai over the next week.

The midfielder suffered a knee sprain in the Reds’ 3-1 win over Crystal Palace last time out, but he has still joined up with Hungary for this week’s international break.

The No8 has had an injury-hit start to the campaign, missing five games with a hamstring problem last month.

He returned to action in the 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal on November 1, before starting against Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend.

It remains to be seen whether he will play for his national team over this international window, with Hungary set to face Georgia and Northern Ireland in their final two Nations League group matches.

In a statement posted to social media, the Hungarian Football Federation said that their medical staff were assessing the Liverpool star ahead of their first match against Georgia.

“Dominik Szoboszlai has undergone the required medical examinations,” it read.

“Following his knee sprain, the national team’s medical staff will do everything possible over the coming days to ensure that the team captain is available to the coaching staff as soon as possible. However, a decision on his availability for the match will almost certainly only be made at the last minute.”

Reds boss Andoni Iraola will be hoping that the tests come back with positive results, with his side set to face Manchester United at Anfield upon the Premier League’s return on November 22.
