Dominik Szoboszlai will undergo medical tests today (Monday) to decide whether he will be fit enough to represent Hungary during the November international break after being forced off in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
The midfielder was withdrawn after 69 minutes against the Eagles with a knee issue, in what was his first Premier League since returning from a hamstring injury, having initially played on with strapping around the joint after receiving treatment shortly before half-time.
Andoni Iraola had admitted after the final whistle that Szoboszlai might have to withdraw from international duty as a result of his latest setback.
And the Hungarian Football Federation have now confirmed that their international captain will undergo tests before a decision is made about his involvement during the forthcoming break.

Iraola had offered an update on Szoboszlai’s condition following the final whistle at Selhurst Park as he conceded that both the Reds and Hungary will have to manage the midfielder carefully.
“Dom definitely wasn’t 100% in the second half," said the Liverpool head coach. "Let’s see. The last thing we need now is to lose players in the international games.
"In the last international break we lost three very important players in Alex (Isak), Cody (Gakpo) and Dom. So now I'm praying – it's the last thing we need.

“I think Dom extended the knee a little bit. It was fine but not 100%. He has to be careful to see if he can play for the international team or not.
“I hope we are in a better place in two weeks. I know Dom will do everything to go as he loves to play for the national team, but he wasn’t 100% when he finished the game.
“I suppose they will have to analyse, the medical staff, and see what it is. I know what I want, but I also have to understand the national teams.
“I'm sure that Dom, if he is fine he will want to go, but I'm not sure if he's going to be fine.”
However, Szoboszlai made no reference to the injury when posting on Instagram after the game as he told supporters he would, 'See them soon'.
"Good way to head into the break," he wrote. "See you soon, Reds."
