Dominik Szoboszlai suffers injury recurrence as heavy Liverpool, Hungary minutes load begins to take toll

Key points

• Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai was forced off in the first half of a 2-1 win over Brentford with what appeared to be a recurrence of his hamstring injury. Coach Andoni Iraola said the Hungarian had returned from the international break not fully fit and had missed Liverpool's previous Premier League and Champions League games.
• Szoboszlai played 5,976 minutes for club and country in the 2025/26 season, a career high.
• He also ranked third in the Premier League for total sprints, and the combined workload is seen as a concern.
