Dominik Szoboszlai won’t be with Liverpool when they travel to Arsenal on Sunday for the FA Cup.The Hungarian midfielder suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s most recent victory over Newcastle.
As a result, manager Jurgen Klopp has ruled him out of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final match against Fulham on Wednesday night and this weekend’s heavyweight third-round match.”I can attest that it is an injury and not a possible one. Hamstring muscle.
At his pre-Arsenal press conference, Klopp told reporters, “But now we have to see.” We will have to wait a little while, but Dom is really upbeat and doesn’t seem to be in much discomfort. Therefore, there is obviously no hope for Sunday or Wednesday.
As they attempt to complete their injury comebacks, Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota might be selected to start against Arsenal, while Harvey Elliott might be the man to take Salah’s spot on the right wing.In the early stages of the FA Cup, Klopp is often expected to rotate his team, but he has made references to fielding a strong team for a high-profile match against Premier League title rivals.
I’m not sure if we should rotate against Arsenal right now,” he remarked. “As I sit here, I honestly don’t know if we have the chance to do so, whatever that implies.It’s not like we have the most talented team on hand. Players are available for us, and we play a different game. That’s correct, but after the other game is finished, we may discuss that one.
We typically do that, and both are equally important. Nothing exists in the meantime. We want to win these games, advance to the championship game, and move on to the next round, but this draw is probably as difficult as it gets.
“It’s going to be difficult, but we played well here, so hopefully we can do well there as well.”
