Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai could be on the sidelines for another four weeks due to a hamstring injury, according to reports in Hungary as per Index.
The online news portal claims that “although the club still hasn’t announced the exact diagnosis, we know that according to the current situation, it is worth counting on a recovery time of about three to four weeks in the case of Szoboszlai.”
It is believed that the 23-year-old will miss seven or eight games for the Reds.
He has emerged as a key player in Jurgen Klopp’s revamped midfield, making a significant impact during his debut season in England. He has contributed five goals and four assists in 28 appearances this campaign.
The Hungary skipper missed four consecutive Liverpool games due to a hamstring injury he picked up on New Year’s Day against Newcastle United. However, his return has been impressive as he made an impact by providing an assist in a dominant 5-2 FA Cup victory over Norwich City.
Szoboszlai, who also contributed a goal in the 4-1 victory against Chelsea last week Wednesday at Anfield sustained a hamstring injury and missed Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.
Klopp has stated that they will evaluate the severity of his injury before determining the next steps.
The German told Sky Sports pre-match: “Dom felt in the same area, or pretty much a similar area, to where he was injured before.
“Not in the game, he was fine, and then after the game [he felt it] slightly so we had a look at it and there was now no chance for him to be involved in this game.
“We cannot take any risk. We have to wait for further assessment but it was clear that he cannot be involved today. That’s it, pretty much.”
