National coach Marco Rossi has announced Hungary’s final European Championship selection. Dominik Szoboszlai should have been a big eye-catcher in the selection of the Hungarians, but the midfielder of RB Leipzig is not fit enough and sees the final tournament pass his nose. The absence of Szoboszlai is offset by the presence of Szabolcs Schön. The attacker was under contract with Ajax in the past, but was unable to leave an indelible impression in Amsterdam and came to only one game in the promises team of the team from Amsterdam.
Hungary’s medical staff have been in close contact with the Leipzig medical staff over the past few weeks regarding Szoboszlai’s situation. The midfielder still reported to the national team and immediately underwent a medical test, but suffered even with minimal effort during the training sessions on Thursday and Friday. Hungary’s technical staff then decided not to include the right leg in the final selection for the European Championship, which means that the country is forced to miss one of the strongholds.
The absence of Szoboszlai falls heavily within the Hungarian team. “I was willing to make any compromise imaginable so that in the worst case scenario he could only play for a few minutes,” Rossi told the Hungarian Football Association’s website. At the same time, it is our duty to make a responsible decision that does not endanger Dominik’s health. We have also been told that if we took him for a few minutes and he was injured, we would not have access to him during the important World Cup qualifiers in the autumn. That would put RB Leipzig in a very difficult situation. “
Hungary, which will fly back from Austria on Wednesday after a training camp, will play against Cyprus (June 4) and Ireland (June 8) in preparation for the European Championship. Hungary can wet its chest during the European Championship, as the team is divided into three heavyweights. The European Championship adventure for the Hungarians, who were also there during the 2016 European Championship, starts on June 15 against reigning European champions Portugal. This meeting is in the Puskas Arena, just like the squatter against France on June 19. The group phase comes to an end for Hungary on June 23 with a match against Germany.
