Dominik Szoboszlai has emerged as one of Liverpool's standout performers during a challenging first half of the season for the reigning Premier League champions. If he picks up another yellow card in the English top flight before Liverpool's 20th league match of the season against Fulham on January 4, it will result in a one-match ban, reports the Liverpool Echo.

He was compelled to leave the pitch with an ankle injury in the 83rd minute during Liverpool's victory over Brighton, despite his initial attempt to continue playing.

But he has unbelievable mentality so let's hope for the best." Ryan Gravenberch sat out three matches earlier in the season due to an ankle problem of his own, while Wataru Endo has already missed two games with a similar injury. Naturally, if he is forced to miss the Premier League's festive fixtures due to injury, at least he won't face a ban before the amnesty kicks in with the New Year.
