Liverpool fans have plenty of positives and negatives to digest on Monday, with a very impressive win against Leeds marred by Harvey Elliott’s injury – and a Champions League game is also imminent.
Elliott injury news and possible return
First up, the latest on our talented teen who’s been on the sidelines for an extended period of time. Fortunately, Elliott seems to have had the worst of the incident, though of course there is a long way to go.
He has to undergo surgery, which will take place in the next week, and although he admits that he is “absolutely devastated”, Elliott thanked the fans for the good wishes and messages of support.
Leeds man Pascal Struijk, who was sent off for the incident, has also sent his support to Elliott, saying he has been “gutted” for the Reds youngster.
Meanwhile, the injury expert’s view is that rather than the dislocation, but rather the potential fracture and ligament damage could affect Elliott’s return to the game schedule.
We could see anywhere from three to more than six months without our starlet.
