Harvey Elliott the Liverpool midfielder was stretchered off the pitch after a confounded tackle from Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk. The young Englishman was taken-off in the 62nd minute of the game after an extensive nonappearance with a speculated broken lower leg.
Elliott was blocked close to the halfway line by Struijk and the players quickly halted the game as the adolescent went down after a noxious tackle. After a long deferral, the Leeds United man was shipped off for his test and Elliott was supplanted by Jordan Henderson, as the youth was stretchered off the pitch to an overwhelming applause from fans of both the teams.

Jurgen Klopp said after the game that he had been disclosed to Elliott’s lower leg had been dislocated.
“Harvey Elliott is in hospital, a bad ankle injury for sure. It looked like it was dislocated, the medical department put it back. Massive pain, shock for him, for us and we don’t know more. We have to wait,” he said.
“I couldn’t care less, it is not my business. It is a serious injury, definitely for an 18-year-old boy. The red card is not important. Two or three weeks we can play on, Harvey will not,” he added.
The club confirmed in a statement later on Sunday that he will undergo surgery.
“Elliott will be required to undergo surgery in the coming days and the club will offer a further update on his prognosis in due course Harvey, his family and Liverpool FC would like to place on record their thanks to the paramedics and all the staff at Leeds General Infirmary for the care and treatment given,” read the club statement.
