His emotions cut a stark contrast to Andy Robertson, who was able to celebrate Scotland reaching a World Cup for the first time since 1998.READ MORE: Liverpool hit by huge double injury blow amid Alisson Becker fitness boostREAD MORE: I was signed for new-look Liverpool attack - This is why it isn't working for Arne SlotDiscussing the international fortunes of his players, Slot said: "We did talk about it (Hungary's defeat), we spoke to Milos as well. It was a big disappointment being so close to play-off games and then going out in extra time of extra time which was fair as there were two subs in that time."It's really hard that you concede, especially because in the other side you see Robbo what it means when you do qualify when you haven't for so long."Szoboszlai will return to a Liverpool squad missing both Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong ahead of Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest, meaning he could revert to the right back role he played earlier in the season when both were unavailable, although he isn't the only option for Liverpool in the position, with Slot admitting that other players may have to be utilised in new roles in the coming weeks."He's played really well as a full-back, he's played really well as a midfielder," continued Slot.
"Curtis Jones played there last season as well."Joe Gomez can play there, but Joe Gomez has played two times 90 minutes throughout 2025, so if we want to keep him available longer its maybe a bit of a risk to play him seven times in 22 days."He missed out on a training session yesterday but we are expecting him to train today. So it is challenging, but the good thing is we have enough good players available, and maybe one or two of them have to play in positions they usually don't do, but thats what we have to accept"Elaborating on the injury suffered by Bradley, as well as summer signing Florian Wirtz, Slot said: "Both have muscle issues.
I don't expect Conor to be part of the upcoming 22 days, maybe the end unless a miracle happens. Florian maybe should not be that long."Jeremie is out just as long, won't be available in the next few weeks."
