Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has indicated a potential return to action in time for the club’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth on January 21.
Despite missing Liverpool’s recent cup fixtures due to a hamstring injury, Szoboszlai, who joined from RB Leipzig in the summer, is optimistic about being fit for the trip to the Vitality Stadium. However, he emphasizes the importance of a cautious approach, expressing a preference to miss an additional match if necessary to avoid the risk of exacerbating the injury.
“I’m still running without a ball, but soon I will be able to carefully try training with a ball, I am getting better,” he stated in an interview with Nemzeti Sport. Regarding a potential return against Bournemouth, he acknowledges the possibility but underscores the need for a prudent recovery process.

In light of Mohamed Salah’s absence, Szoboszlai is open to playing a role on the right wing, a position he frequently occupied during his time with Leipzig. He asserts his willingness to contribute wherever needed, emphasizing the current priority is to return to playing as soon as possible.
Responding to criticisms suggesting Salah’s perceived selfishness on the field, Szoboszlai defends the Egyptian forward, highlighting Salah’s goal-scoring prowess and asserting the significance of taking scoring opportunities in professional football. He dismisses the notion of Salah being selfish, emphasizing the crucial contribution both Salah and Erling Haaland make as among the most successful players in the Premier League with 14 goals each.
