Liverpool teenager star player Harvey Elliott suffered a serious injury during the Premier League Matchday 4 game with Leeds United at Elland Road. The 18-year-old playmaker was hurt following a tackle by Leeds defender Pascal Struijk, who was given a straight red card in the 60th minute of the game.
Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah immediately called for the medical staff and covered his eyes in distress. He was crying in pain before he was stretched out of the field. The Belgian centre-back Struijk, on as a 33rd-minute substitute for the injured Diego Llorente, was consoled by Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk while Elliott received treatment for an apparent ankle injury.
Liverpool supporters also did their path as they sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” as he was taken off the pitch and he applauded them while being carried off. Elliott, who made his Liverpool debut in September 2019, has featured in every game for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League so far this season.
The Reds went ahead to win the game 3-0 and the young star was replaced by Jordan Henderson.
