Premier League: Elliott could play for Liverpool again this season

Young Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott (18), who suffered a dislocation and fractured left ankle in the league against Leeds on Sunday, could play again before the end of the season, the club have said Tuesday. « The player has had ankle surgery (left) with success« , explains the press release.

« Elliott will now begin his recovery with the Reds’ medical team and, although we hope he will play again before the end of the season, no timetable has been set for his return., adds the club. « We are not going to put pressure on him by setting a more precise deadline than to say that we are confident that he will be able to play again later in the season by following our treatment schedule.« , detailed the club doctor, Jim Moxon.

Harvey Elliott was seriously injured by a tackle more clumsy than nasty from Dutchman Pascal Struijk, who was sent off following this gesture, on the hour mark in the match won 3-0 by Liverpool.
