Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to miss three games through suspension after his straight red card against Manchester City, according to current reports.

What the reports say

  • He was shown a direct red card late on in Liverpool’s defeat to Manchester City for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity while tracking back with Erling Haaland.
  • Coverage of the incident describes it as a “dramatic straight red card” that triggers a multi-game ban rather than just a single-match suspension.
  • The same reporting explains that this will keep him out for a short “stint on the sidelines,” specifically set at three matches for Liverpool.

What this means for Liverpool

  • He will at least miss Liverpool’s next fixture against Sunderland, which is already confirmed as a game he is suspended for.
  • The full three-game suspension will affect Liverpool’s midfield options at a time when rotation and depth are important across competitions.
