Dominik Szoboszlai says there is no rift with Liverpool teammate Curtis Jones

After Liverpool’s 1‑0 pre‑season win over Wrexham in New York, video clips appeared to show a heated exchange on the pitch involving Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, English midfielder Curtis Jones and teammate Kostas Tsimikas over the captain’s armband. Szoboszlai later told the Daily Mail and The Athletic that the incident was merely a brief discussion, that no one was angry and that the players are “cool” with each other. He dismissed any suggestion of a lasting dispute and said any further talk would happen in the dressing‑room.

Liverpool’s management treated the episode as a normal part of high‑level competition and noted that the club has not yet appointed a permanent vice‑captain following Andy Robertson’s departure. Both players have been seen joking together in training, indicating the matter has been resolved.
