Liverpool Without Szoboszlai for Premier League Showdown with Man City
Liverpool will face Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday without Dominik Szoboszlai after the midfielder suffered a hamstring injury.
Liverpool’s injury list grows
Szoboszlai has been left out of the matchday squad for the Premier League meeting, adding another significant absence for Liverpool ahead of a major home fixture.
The midfielder joins Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo among the players unavailable for Sunday’s contest. Liverpool are also continuing to manage longer-term injuries affecting Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni.
- Dominik Szoboszlai: hamstring injury
- Alexander Isak: unavailable
- Cody Gakpo: unavailable
- Hugo Ekitike: long-term absentee
- Conor Bradley: long-term absentee
- Giovanni Leoni: long-term absentee
Anfield hosts a significant league meeting
The match is Liverpool’s first since an independent commission found Manchester City guilty of breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations.
City strongly reject the finding and have lodged an appeal against the decision.
Selection test for Liverpool
Szoboszlai’s absence removes another midfield option as Liverpool prepare to welcome Enzo Maresca’s City side. With attacking options Isak and Gakpo also ruled out, the home side will need to adjust their selection for one of the weekend’s most prominent Premier League fixtures.
Next step
Liverpool and Manchester City meet at Anfield on Sunday, with the Reds seeking to navigate a growing injury problem while City arrive amid the ongoing appeal process over the commission’s verdict.
