What happened. Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai says he has cleared the situation with team-mates Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas after they argued over the captain's armband following a pre-season win.
- Szoboszlai gave armband to Tsimikas, not Jones, when subbed off.
- Tsimikas was filmed throwing the armband to the floor.
- In the next game, Szoboszlai gave the armband to Jones.
“It was never a debate between us three. We just discussed something on the pitch.”
— Dominik Szoboszlai
With Virgil van Dijk absent, Szoboszlai led the side on tour, but the vice-captaincy remains undiscussed.
