In the hot month of July, Liverpool welcomed RB Leipzig's 22-year-old midfield starlet Szubo Slár for a whopping £60 million (HK$600 million). The Hungarian international was supposed to be a strong addition to the Reds' midfield, but he missed Monday night's (24th) warm-up match against Greuther Furth due to an injury shortly after joining Liverpool, making fans worry that he will repeat the mistake of his teammate, Tiago Ejendanaj, and become another "injury-prone" player.
The Liverpool squad had recently trained in Germany and in a warm-up match, Suboslar had finished the first half of the match as a starter. However, he failed to feature in Monday night's clash with German Bundesliga side Greuther Furth. According to Liverpool officials, Suboslar accidentally twisted his ankle in training, but fortunately the injury is not serious. Manager Gopp said, "Suboslal's ankle is just a minor injury and he would definitely be able to play in the Premier League, but given the nature of the warm-up matches, we decided not to risk him." With this, Liverpool fans can rest a little easier.
