Dominik Szoboszlai has given Liverpool a new injury scare after admitting he was close to withdrawing from Hungary's game on Saturday after feeling a problem during the warm-up.
Szoboszlai went into the international break with worries over a minor knee problem that forced him off during the Reds' 3-1 Premier League win at Crystal Palace last weekend.
The midfielder was passed fit by the Hungarian national team medical staff and named in the starting line-up for the UEFA Nations League match in Georgia on Saturday.
Szoboszlai nearly pulled out before kick-off
But Szoboszlai admitted he was considering pulling out shortly before kick-off before deciding to continue and went on to assist Hungary's second goal in a 2-0 win over Liverpool team-mate Giorgi Mamardashvili's side.
"I came today with a workout and a half in my legs," he said. "During the warm-up I was close to saying no, because I felt my leg on one of the shots.
"But if I've come this far, I won't let the team down. I went as best I could, trying to give my best."
Szoboszlai will now undergo further treatment ahead of Hungary's final group game at home to group leaders Northern Ireland on Tuesday evening.
