Sad day for all of Liverpool. Despite the solid 0-3 victory at home to Leeds United, one of his main talents in the squad suffered a very serious injury that will leave him off the pitch for several months.
With 57 minutes played Harvey Elliott almost gave the home side the lead with an unexpected free kick set up, but the visitors’ Pascal Struijk was onto it, grabbing the would be breakthrough ball.
While it was not a disqualifying entry for a long time, the young man from the planter became entangled with the legs of the rival and fell on the grass in a spectacular manner. He immediately grabbed his left leg and his teammate Mohame Salah shouted to stop the game so he could get medical attention.
After several minutes, the 18-year-old boy was removed with oxygen and on a stretcher, while Elland Road fans said goodbye to him in applause. Fortunately, the same player reported on social media assuring that he was relatively well and was already thinking about his extensive recovery.
“Thanks for the posts, guys. Road to recovery,” he stated in an Instagram story.
Regarding what happened to him, several English media indicate that it would be a complicated injury to his left ankle from which he could recover in 6-8 months.
Unfortunate news for the steering wheel that was beginning to gain the trust of Jürgen Klopp and that this Sunday just became the youngest footballer in the history of Liverpool who had 3 consecutive titles.
The fright passed after the serious injury suffered by Harvey Elliot. The player brings calm from their networks. Quick recovery for Liverpool’s young talent 🙏🏻🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/FrkKk8I4ZW
