James Pearce Provides Key Update on Szoboszlai Ahead of Liverpool vs Tottenham

 

 

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is aiming to be fit for this weekend’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur, according to James Pearce’s latest injury update. Szoboszlai was forced off against Brighton last weekend, and given his standout performances this season, his absence was a significant concern for Arne Slot. The Hungarian has been a key figure for the Reds, offering versatility and consistently strong performances amid struggles from other players.

 

Liverpool have been on an upward trajectory recently, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches. While a few draws were disappointing, the team has won its last two games without conceding.

 

Ahead of their trip to Tottenham, Pearce reports that Szoboszlai hopes to recover in time, though Joe Gomez is expected to miss out with a hamstring issue. Slot can take some comfort that Gomez’s injury isn’t serious, but Liverpool’s limited defensive options mean any setback to Ibrahima Konate or Virgil Van Dijk could force a midfielder into the backline, as has happened previously.

 

It has been a frustrating season for Liverpool, with several key players underperforming. Mohamed Salah has faced intense scrutiny, while summer signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak have struggled to settle at Anfield. Szoboszlai, however, has risen to the occasion, starting every Premier League match so far. Only Konate and Van Dijk share that record, highlighting his importance to Slot. Losing him this weekend would be a significant blow as Liverpool prepare to face a Tottenham side eager for a turnaround.
