Liverpool fans have taken to social media to share their messages of support for Harvey Elliott after his injury against Leeds United.
The 18-year-old has been Liverpool ’s breakout star of the new campaign and was starting his third consecutive league game for Jurgen Klopp’s side at Elland Road.
A second-half challenge from Pascal Struijk saw the teenager receive medical attention immediately and earned the Leeds player a red card, with Jurgen Klopp confirminhg post-match that Elliott suffered a dislocated ankle.
Having earned a regular place in the starting line-up, ahead of captain Jordan Henderson against the Yorkshire side, supporters were left distressed after seeing Elliott stretchered off the pitch.

In a positive sign, Elliott applauded the crowd as he went off and has already posted an update on social media , suggesting he will remain focussed on his recovery.
A surprise addition to Jurgen Klopp’s first team setup, following his loan spell with Blackburn Rovers last season, Elliott has been a revelation in the Reds midfield.
Despite earning plaudits as a wide forward during his temporary spell in the Championship, the German coach has decided to utilise the youngster as a central midfielder, filling the space vacated by Gini Wijnaldum.
He has been involved in all four of the Reds’ Premier League games this season, retaining a starting spot after initially coming off the bench against Norwich in their opening game.
Impressing both supporters and the coaching staff during pre-season, the former Fulham player made a seamless step up to life in the senior side and will be hoping for a speedy recovery.
