Liverpool's teenage midfielder Harvey Elliott said he had been overwhelmed by the "love and support" he has received since dislocating his ankle in Sunday's 3-0 win at Leeds. Elliott sustained the gruesome injury after a challenge by Leeds defender Pascal Struijk, who was sent off after a VAR review. The 18-year-old received lengthy treatment on the Elland Road pitch before being stretchered off, leaving players from both teams looking distraught. Elliott was later discharged from a hospital in Leeds and while the full severity of the damage has yet to be confirmed, he will undergo surgery.
