Liverpool midfielders Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai were involved in a heated on-pitch argument following the Reds’ 1-0 pre-season victory over Wrexham in New York.

According to BBC Sport, the pair exchanged words shortly after the final whistle as Liverpool players walked around Yankee Stadium to applaud supporters. Defender Kostas Tsimikas later joined the confrontation, with television footage appearing to show him throwing the captain’s armband onto the pitch during the exchange.

The reason behind the disagreement remains unclear, although BBC Sport noted that Szoboszlai handed the captain’s armband to Tsimikas rather than Jones when he was substituted during the match.

Asked about the incident, Szoboszlai declined to discuss the details but insisted the squad remains united.
