Liverpool give new Dominik Szoboszlai injury update as more details emerge ahead of Chelsea final

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that the complexity of Dominik Szobsozlai's injury is why he's a doubt for Liverpool's Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.

The midfielder is back on the sidelines with a recurrence of a hamstring injury, although the tendon is the main issue the Reds have.

Szobozlai sat out of last weekend's 3-1 loss to Premier League title rivals Arsenal and will again be absent for Burnley's visit to Anfield.

Liverpool face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley in two weeks' time but Klopp remains unsure if the £60 million summer signing can be involved.

"The muscle is not big but the tendon is the problem and the tendon is not painful which means the player is like: 'I’m fine, let’s go.’ And he is obviously not used to getting injured with this kind of thing," Liverpool manager Klopp said via the Liverpool Echo.

"He had long-term problems at Salzburg but pretty much since then he could play. He came to Leipzig with a problem but could pretty much play all the time after that. He is not the most patient person. We don’t know [about the final].

"If you ask him he plays the final definitely but I don't know. He will see. He is running outside. Some players I see running outside and I think ok they are back and then it can still take a while. We have to see."
