Dominik Szoboszlai will undergo medical tests on Monday to determine whether he can represent Hungary during the November international break after being forced off in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
The midfielder was withdrawn after 69 minutes against the Eagles with a knee issue, in what was his first Premier League start since returning from a hamstring injury. He had initially played on with strapping around the joint after receiving treatment shortly before half-time.
Official statement from Hungarian federation
The Hungarian Football Federation has confirmed that their international captain will undergo tests before a decision is made about his involvement during the forthcoming break.
An official statement on social media read: "(Dominik Szoboszlai) who was substituted in the 69th minute of Liverpool FC's match yesterday, is undergoing tests today, Monday, following the usual protocol in such cases.
"We will, of course, keep the public informed of developments as soon as possible!"
Iraola's concerns after Selhurst Park
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola had admitted after the final whistle that Szoboszlai might have to withdraw from international duty as a result of his latest setback.
"Dom definitely wasn't 100% in the second half," said Iraola. "Let's see. The last thing we need now is to lose players in the international games.
"In the last international break we lost three very important players in Alex (Isak), Cody (Gakpo) and Dom. So now I'm praying – it's the last thing we need."
Knee brace and careful management
Szoboszlai wore a knee brace in the second half of Liverpool's win at Crystal Palace after picking up a first-half injury.
"I think Dom extended the knee a little bit. It was fine but not 100%. He has to be careful to see if he can play for the international team or not," Iraola added.
"I hope we are in a better place in two weeks. I know Dom will do everything to go as he loves to play for the national team, but he wasn't 100% when he finished the game.
"I suppose they will have to analyse, the medical staff, and see what it is. I know what I want, but I also have to understand the national teams.
"I'm sure that Dom, if he is fine he will want to go, but I'm not sure if he's going to be fine."
