Dominik Szoboszlai was withdrawn as a precaution after suffering cramp in the second half as Milos Kerkez scored his first international goal to give Hungary a 1-0 Nations League win over Georgia on Friday night.
Liverpool captain Szoboszlai played as a No.6 for the first time, a role Hungary boss Marco Rossi believes he can excel in. Rossi said Szoboszlai “cramped and was very tired by the end” despite “huge sprints”. Szoboszlai will be assessed ahead of Hungary’s trip to Ukraine on 5 October, though Kerkez is suspended after picking up a booking.
Jeremy Jacquet impressed on his first senior outing for France in their 1-1 draw with Italy in Paris. Zinedine Zidane praised the Liverpool centre-back as “very, very good”, highlighting his bravery in stepping out from the back and his work in the duel. Jacquet will bid for another start against Belgium on Monday.
Bradley Barcola featured as a late substitute for France, continuing to build fitness after his £123m move to Liverpool in late August.
