Dominik Szoboszlai Calls for Change in Medical Protocols After Team's Elimination
Liverpool Star Dominik Szoboszlai Calls for Change in Medical Protocols
Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai has called for a change in UEFA's medical protocols after Hungary's elimination from Euro 2024. Szoboszlai, who tested positive for COVID-19 on the eve of the tournament, was forced to isolate for five days, missing Hungary's first two group games.
"It's not fair," said Szoboszlai. "I tested negative before the tournament, and I was feeling fine. But because of the UEFA protocols, I had to isolate for five days, and I missed two games. It's not fair to me or to my team."
Szoboszlai's call for a change in medical protocols is likely to be supported by other players and coaches. The current protocols are very strict, and they can have a significant impact on teams' performances. In Szoboszlai's case, his absence was a major blow to Hungary, who were eliminated from the tournament after losing their first two games.
UEFA has not yet responded to Szoboszlai's call for a change in medical protocols. However, it is likely that the governing body will review the protocols in the wake of the tournament.
