Misses match against Greuther Furth Szalai has been ruled out of the match against Greuther Furth on Saturday.

Impact Szalai will not take part in Saturday's fixture. The striker has not been able to recover in time from a head injury.

Dealing with head injury Szalai is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Greuther Furth due to a head injury.

Impact Szalai is uncertain for Saturday's match as he continues an injury riddled season. The forward is currently dealing with a head injury. Unfortunately even when healthy he plays a minimal role in real, or fantasy, lineups.

To have surgery Szalai will have surgery this week to treat an undisclosed illness, Mainz announced Friday. He is expected to be unavailable for a few weeks.

Impact Szalai has missed Mainz's last two matches, and he will miss a few more weeks due to this surgery. He has 10 Bundesliga appearances so far this season with two starts in the front two.

Facing six week absence Szalai -- who underwent knee surgery Tuesday -- is expected to be sidelined for the next six weeks.

Impact Szalai absence will likely see more minutes headed to Karim Onisiwo and Lee Jae-Sung. Prior to getting hurt, Szalai recorded one goal on six shots (two on target), four chances created and 26 passes in four matches (two starts). Based on his recovery timeline, Szalai probably shouldn't be expected back before the November international break.

Sustains knee injury Szalai suffered a meniscus injury in his left knee against SC Freiburg on Saturday that will require arthroscopic surgery.

Impact Szalai started two of his four appearances this season in which he recorded one goal on six shots (two on target) and four chances created. With the forward out indefinitely, it will likely mean more minutes and starts for Karim Onisiwo and Lee Jae-Sung, though Jonathan Burkardt will remain the focal point of the attack up front.

Returns two negative tests Szalai has returned two negative tests following a positive COVID-19 result last week.

Impact It looks like Szalai will be ready to go following the international break after what was likely a false positive. The forward should've only missed a couple days of training and should be ready for Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim if all goes well in the next few days.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Szalai tested positive for COVID-19 while with the Hungarian national team.

Impact Szalai played in the loss against England so this is a new revelation with Mainz's next match Sept. 11. Given the timeline, there's a chance he'll miss that game, but it's something that will be made known late next week. The striker received his first start of the season just before the break and managed a goal and four chances created.

Scores in win Szalai took three shots (two on target), created four chances and scored a goal in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Greuther Furth.

Impact Szalai scores in his first start this season, finishing off Silvan Widmer's 18th minute cross. He also created four chances, which tied for a team high for the match. His next match comes on September 11 against Hoffenheim.

Contributes to two goals Szalai recorded one goal and one assist during a 2-2 draw Wednesday against Germany.

Impact Szalai recorded the Hungarians' first goal and assisted their second, which was scored by Andras Schafer. The former has nothing to be ashamed of based on his contributions across 198 group-stage minutes.

Stays in starting XI Szalai (head) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Germany after passing concussion protocol.

Impact Szalai makes a surprise return Wednesday despite leaving in the 26th minute last match because of a blow to the head. While it's a tough spot, Szalai was productive against Portugal in the first game and there will be opportunities to get shots off against this Germany back line.

JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to face Germany Szalai (head), who signed a new contract with Mainz, has been cleared for Wednesday's match against Germany, reports AP.

Impact Hungary have been fairly limited on injury updates, but it looks like Szalai passed concussion protocol and will be an option to start Wednesday. This seems like a risky play, but if he indeed didn't suffer a concussion, he'll resume his role where he managed three shots and six fouls drawn against Portugal.

JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off early Saturday Szalai was forced off in the 26th minute of Saturday's match against France after receiving a blow to the head.

Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Szalai, who was one of Hungary's better players in their opening match. Nemanja Nikolic was brought on in his place and could be in line to start the final group match if Szalai can't go in a few days, which may be the case if he suffered a concussion.

JUNE 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Registered three shots Szalai recorded three shots (two on target), one cross (inaccurate) and one interception against Portugal on Tuesday.

Impact Szalai led his team in shots and was able to test the opposing keeper Rui Patricio but was unable to put one into the netting. As a contrarian option, Szalai figures to have the best chance of scoring a goal in the 2020 Euros for Hungary, though it will be no easy task versus France and Germany.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In poor form for Euros Szalai scored one goal in 18 matches for Mainz this season.

Impact Szalai has only scored two Bundesliga goals in the past two seasons after scoring 19 in the previous three campaigns. He still likely enters the Euros as a primary attacker for Hungary, as the absence of Dominik Szoboszlai means he and Nemanja Nikolic will have to make major strides in their efforts.
