Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is not expected to be fit for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea later this month, according to The Telegraph.
The Hungarian international suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury during the league win over the Blues a couple of weeks ago.
It now appears that Szoboszlai will join Trent Alexander-Arnold on the absentee list for the trip to Wembley, leaving fans on X very concerned about the team’s chances of winning the game:

Why do players come back from injury play one game and go back to injury? It’s happened 3 times in the past 3 games, What kind of medical staff do we have

Losing Szoboszlai is a blow
The 23-year-old has impressed supporters since arriving from RB Leipzig for £60m at the start of the season, and it will be a big disappointment if he can’t face Chelsea.
It means that others will have to step up in Szoboslai’s absence, with the likes of Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister now the favoured midfield trio to be named as starters for the final.
