But it\u2019s going to be difficult, I think, before the [November international] break. We will try but it\u2019s going to be difficult to have him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rte-content_rteContent__paragraph__iZHS_\">\u201cDom Szoboszlai is different. It\u2019s not a new injury, I think it\u2019s in the same place it was probably last week. He hasn\u2019t worsened the injury but probably we have to be a little bit more patient until he recovers fully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rte-content_rteContent__paragraph__iZHS_\">\u201cBut it\u2019s not like something now where he has to wait a lot of time to come back, he is more or less in the same situation he was last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rte-content_rteContent__paragraph__iZHS_\">\u201cBut we need more patience with him, but I appreciate the effort he did the other day, to be available, to want to contribute in a very difficult game that you know is going to be very physical \u2013 [against] one of the most physical teams, Brentford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rte-content_rteContent__paragraph__iZHS_\">\u201cAnd to put himself in front and to want to play speaks very well about him, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"video-embed_videoEmbed__title__BD_Nz\" data-testid=\"video-embed__title\">Araujo and Iraola&#8217;s pre-Villarreal press conference<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Szoboszlai, who had missed the Reds\u2019 previous two matches, was forced off in the first half of Saturday\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":807665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[137252,1669,2237,218,2235,20438,101,56,54,55,23779],"class_list":["post-807664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-andoni-iraola","tag-champions-league","tag-dominik-szoboszlai","tag-football","tag-jeremie-frimpong","tag-press-conference","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-villarreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/807665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
