Dominik Szoboszlai has teased when he could return from injury for Liverpool after suffering a hamstring injury earlier this month.
In the Reds’ 4-2 triumph over Newcastle United on New Year’s Day, the Hungarian hobbled off. Since then, he has missed the FA Cup and League Cup matches against Fulham and Arsenal. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old has acknowledged he is aiming to make a comeback at AFC Bournemouth when Jurgen Klopp’s team is back in action on January 21. Liverpool is off this weekend owing to the Premier League winter break.
After winning Hungarian Sportsman of the Year for the second time, he told Nemzeti Sport, “I am still running without a ball, but soon I will be able to carefully try training with a ball.” “I’m improving.
“We don’t want to rush anything, but it is feasible that I may return against Bournemouth. If it means missing one more game, I would prefer not aggravate my prior injury and be able to play all the time.
This season, only Mohamed Salah (23) has started more games for Liverpool than Szoboszlai (21). With 26 appearances in all competitions, the Hungarian has played primarily in midfield.
Szoboszlai, who has experience playing on the right wing for RB Leipzig, acknowledges that he is willing to replace Salah in that area upon his injury return. Salah is currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
“I play where I am needed, so playing on the wing is not out of the question,” I said in response to the query.
“The most important thing right now is that I can play as soon as possible. We haven’t talked about how my task might change in Mohamed Salah’s absence.”
As Salah revealed how vital he believes his teammate to be to Liverpool, Szoboszlai showered Salah with admiration.
We get along well,” he remarked. “Mohamed Salah is a humble individual, but he is aware of his accomplishments in football, where he belongs.”
In spite of this, he acts and interacts with the younger players on the team in the same manner as the rest of them.
The fact that he is regarded by all as one of the greatest players in the world is not by accident. We truly need it.
He dribbles to score goals rather than passing the ball or trying on his own, and it’s evident that he takes risks frequently. This is the most crucial factor in professional football.
