Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who previously missed a fixture against Manchester City due to a hamstring issue, has suffered a recent setback. During a match against Brentford, Szoboszlai was forced to leave the pitch in the 32nd minute after requesting a substitution. Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola confirmed the incident was a recurrence of the previous hamstring injury rather than a new ailment. Iraola suggested the player may not have had sufficient time for recovery following a late-night Champions League away fixture, stating, ‘It is a very delicate situation... we probably did not have enough time for regeneration.’ He further noted, ‘it was probably not healed enough, so we will need more time with him.’ While Szoboszlai’s injury has not worsened, he is confirmed to miss the upcoming Champions League match against Villarreal. The injury incident coincided with another squad setback involving defender Jeremie Frimpong, who suffered a new muscular injury during the same match. Iraola noted that Frimpong is expected to be sidelined until after the November international break, stating a return before then will be ‘difficult.’ Szoboszlai’s recurring hamstring issue subsequently caused him to miss the League Cup round-of-16 match against Chelsea. As Liverpool prepares for a Premier League fixture against ~~Arsenal on November 1,~~ Arsenal, manager Andoni Iraola has expressed optimism regarding the midfielder's potential return. Although Szoboszlai has missed the last three matches, Iraola stated, ‘I think there is a chance for them to play, but I cannot say for sure yet. We still have two days.’ Ahead of the Arsenal match, Iraola provided a positive update, noting indicated that Szoboszlai remains doubtful. While Szoboszlai has begun individual ~~training and may be available~~ training, his availability for ~~Sunday.
