Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Dominik Szoboszlai won’t be able to participate in the FA Cup clash against Arsenal due to an injury sustained in their recent victory against Newcastle. Klopp addressed the media, mentioning Szoboszlai’s hamstring injury and ruling him out for both Sunday’s match and the League Cup semi-final against Fulham on Wednesday. He emphasized that it’s not a potential injury but an actual muscular issue, expressing hope for a swift recovery but uncertainty about his return.
This setback adds Szoboszlai to Liverpool’s expanding list of sidelined players, which includes Thiago Alcantara, Andy Robertson, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, and Kostas Tsimikas. His absence will be keenly felt in the midfield, especially with Wataru Endo also unavailable due to his commitments in the Asian Cup with Japan.
Furthermore, Liverpool will miss Mohamed Salah as he joins Egypt for the upcoming AFCON, leaving the team with significant gaps in their lineup.
