Liverpool remain optimistic over Dominik Szoboszlai’s ankle injury ahead of their Premier League match away to Tottenham on Saturday.
The midfielder was forced off within the 83rd minute of Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Brighton at Anfield last weekend.
With Joe Gomez also replaced in the primary half because of injury, Szoboszlai deputised at right-back as Conor Bradley missed the sport because of suspension.
In accordance with The Athletic, Szoboszlai has undergone a scan on his ankle injury and the outcomes have indicated that the Hungary international has not suffered significant damage.
The report adds that the midfielder has ‘responded well to treatment in recent days’ and just isn’t yet ruled out of Liverpool’s trip to Spurs.
‘It didn’t look great once I just saw him. But he has unbelievable mentality so let’s hope for one of the best,’ Slot said of Szoboszlai after the win over Brighton.
Liverpool also expect Szoboszlai to return against Wolves on December 27 if he does miss the trip to Tottenham this weekend.
Elsewhere, Joe Gomez is about to be unavailable for the sport against Spurs because of the hamstring injury he suffered against Brighton.
In accordance with The Athletic, Liverpool will adopt a ‘cautious approach’ with Gomez but imagine the injury is ‘relatively minor’.
‘If I even have a player who goes off with a muscle injury like Joe, that’s normally not a positive thing,’ Slot said last weekend.
‘I might not expect him to be within the squad next week [against Tottenham] but sometimes you get a positive surprise.’
