Dominik Szoboszlai's availability for the upcoming international window has been thrown into further doubt after the Hungarian Football Federation revealed the Liverpool co-vice-captain will undergo tests on Monday.
[Szoboszlai was substituted in the 69th minute of Sunday’s 3-1 win at Crystal Palace](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2026/1108/1598441-liverpool-inflict-fourth-straight-league-defeat-on-eagles/), after which Reds boss Andoni Iraola confirmed the Hungary midfielder was "not 100%" after sustaining a knee issue.
Iraola was unsure what the problem would mean for Szoboszlai’s fitness for the Nations League, nor what Liverpool’s medical team would recommend, but admitted: "I know what I want."
A statement from the Hungarian Football Federation on X read: "(Szoboszlai), who was substituted in the 69th minute of Liverpool’s match yesterday, is undergoing tests following the usual protocol in such cases.
"We will, of course, keep the public informed of developments as soon as possible!"
Speaking after the win at Selhurst Park, Iraola said: "Dom just had, I don’t know (if it was) a problem, but he definitely was not 100%.
"The last thing we need now is to lose players in the international games. Last time, we lost three very important players. It’s the last thing we need, so I hope he can take care of it.
"I think he extended a little bit the knee, he was fine, but not 100%.
"So he has to be careful to see if he can play with the national team or not, but also hope that it doesn’t happen like the other international break when we lost Alex (Alexander Isak), Cody (Gakpo), Dom, so touch wood we are in a better place in two weeks."
Florian Wirtz netted his first Premier League goal of the season against Crystal Palace
Iraola said Liverpool will also undertake their own assessments to better understand Szoboszlai’s situation.
"I know that he will do everything to go because he loves playing with the national team," Iraola said. "But he was not 100% now, when he finished the game.
"I suppose they will have to analyse, their medical staff, our medical staff, and see where he is."
Asked what he believed the Reds medical staff would recommend, Iraola replied: "I know what I want, but I also have to understand the national teams.
"Also, I am sure that if he is fine, he will want to go, but I am not sure if it is going to be fine."
Szoboszlai provided an assist on Sunday at Selhurst Park with a free-kick to tee up Alexis Mac Allister for the opener.
Florian Wirtz netted his first Premier League goal of the season after the break and Isak made it three before Eddie Nketiah clawed a goal back for the bottom-of-the-table hosts with a stoppage-time penalty.
