Iraola's squad problems! Liverpool's key player will miss the clash with Manchester City
Liverpool have suffered a major squad blow ahead of one of the biggest matches of the early season. Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will not be available for the team's clash with Manchester City in the sixth round of the English Premier League.
According to Football Tweet, the 25-year-old Hungarian is absent from the Reds' squad because of a hamstring injury. The midfielder's absence could become a serious problem for the hosts, given the importance of the upcoming showdown.
Szoboszlai has enjoyed a productive spell this season. Across seven matches in all competitions, he has scored three goals. The midfielder remains a key part of the team thanks to his work rate, pressing intensity and ability to surge forward into attacks.
The match against Manchester City takes on added significance amid the scandal surrounding Enzo Maresca's club, which continues to generate widespread reverberations across English football. Before the game, Liverpool fans also staged a provocative welcome for the visitors, accompanying the opposing team's bus with offensive chants.
