Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and his wife Borka Buzsik have announced the birth of their first child, a girl.

The family update has received a warm reaction from Reds teammates, both past and present.

Now on Sunday, August 3 the birth of a girl was confirmed with a joint post to Instagram showing their hands around the newborn, accompanied by a touching statement.
