The Portuguese winger has scored twice in two matches since returning from injury.
It’s the off-season so the official news is a drip at this point, At least there’s international performances!
Diogo Jota scored for Portugal in a friendly against Croatia on Saturday in the second half. The winger was subbed on and found the back of the net from close range, though the side were ultimately defeated 2-1. The goal marked Jota’s second in as many games after coming back from the injury that left him out of the end of the Premier League season.
Dominik Szoboszlai captained Hungary to a 3-0 victory over Israel, although the midfielder was taken out of the match around the 55th minute. Szoboszlai confirmed post-match that the substitution was just a precautionary measure, and he should be fine for the summer’s upcoming matches.
Szoboszlai told M4 Sport: “I’ll be fine. My legs were a little stiff, I didn’t want to take any risks, that’s why I came off.”
Dominik Szoboszlai came onto the pitch and was walking fine after the final whistle today.
Looks like his thigh problem was just a precaution. pic.twitter.com/oyQmGBJ4Kn
Luis Diaz is in the starting XI for Colombia’s match against USA on Saturday at the time of writing this post, but more importantly is featured in the new official song for the Colombian National Team:
So long as everyone has fun and no one gets majorly injured, that’s all we can really hope for. Happy Summer, everyone.
