Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai’s latest injury is not as bad as first feared, according to journalist Bence Bocsak.
The Hungarian international was not in the squad for the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend after a recurrence of a hamstring problem.
There were reports suggesting that Szoboszlai could be sidelined for up to a month, but Bocsak claims the player won’t be out for as long as that. Fans on X are understandably relieved to hear the news:

Will Szoboszlai be fit for the Carabao Cup final?
With the clash against Chelsea taking place in just under three weeks’ time, it does seem as though he will be able to feature, barring any other fitness setbacks.
You wouldn’t think that there be any chance of Szoboszlai facing Burnley this Saturday, though, and he will be a doubt for the subsequent fixtures versus Brentford and Luton Town as well.
Which other Liverpool players are currently out injured?
Kostas Tsmikas is said to be closing in on his comeback after breaking his collarbone against Arsenal at Anfield in December. Mo Salah is still some way off returning from the hamstring injury he sustained whilst at the African Cup of Nations with Egypt.
Joel Matip will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury while there is no return date for Stefan Bajcetic (muscular).
