Szoboszlai awaits knee tests before Hungary Nations League finale

Dominik Szoboszlai is awaiting tests on a knee injury before his availability for Hungary's final two Nations League matches is decided, BBC Sport reported. The Liverpool midfielder's national federation said an update would follow his assessment. His participation against Georgia and Northern Ireland remains uncertain.

Watch the highlights:

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola said after Sunday's match that Szoboszlai had not finished fully fit. He expected the midfielder to want to represent Hungary if able to do so, but said medical staff needed to assess the problem. The federation described the process as its normal procedure for such cases.

Szoboszlai had contributed to Liverpool's 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace before Trey Nyoni replaced him in the 69th minute. BBC Sport's match coverage credited the Hungarian with the assist for Alexis Mac Allister's opening goal, a header in the 40th minute following a free-kick routine. Liverpool went into the interval ahead at Selhurst Park.

Florian Wirtz doubled the lead in the 54th minute after a pass from Bradley Barcola. Wirtz later supplied Alexander Isak for Liverpool's third in the 89th minute, taking the striker to seven league goals for the season. Palace's response came through Eddie Nketiah, whose stoppage-time penalty followed a foul by Milos Kerkez.

The result moved Liverpool into fourth place with 18 points from 10 matches, having won five and drawn three, nine behind leaders Arsenal. Alisson made six saves, while Palace also struck the crossbar through Yeremy Pino. The home side remained bottom on seven points after a fourth consecutive league defeat. Liverpool's win followed their midweek European loss at Fenerbahce, according to the BBC match report.

Hungary's immediate concern is whether their captain can take part in the conclusion of their Group B2 campaign. Marco Rossi's team are second, one point behind Northern Ireland. They visit Georgia on Saturday before hosting the group leaders in Budapest on 17 November. The reported assessment does not yet establish whether Szoboszlai will be available for either match.
