Liverpool's Harvey Elliott screams in pain.
Liverpool's super talent Harvey Elliott is threatened with a long forced break. He injured himself after a reckless foul.
3: 0! Liverpool and start coach Jürgen Klopp remain unbeaten after four matchdays in the Premier League, with the top duo Chelsea and Manchester United in step.
The joy of the home win against Leeds United is clouded on Sunday. Youngster Harvey Elliott is fouled by his opponent Pascal Struijk. The Leeds defense attorney quickly knows that he has done something stupid. Shortly afterwards, like numerous other players and opponents, he kneels on the floor next to Elliott, who is writhing in pain and screaming loudly, trying to talk to him soothingly.
That doesn't save him from a red card.
Liverpool supervisors treat him on the foot. But continuing to play is out of the question. The 18-year-old has to get on the stretcher and get to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Even before the official diagnosis, it seems clear that the super talent will have to prepare for a long break. After all: He shares a selfie from the ambulance: “The journey to recovery has begun!”
He shows fighting spirit, thanks the fans for the encouraging news.
The goals: Mo Salah (20th), Fabinho (50th), Sadio Mane (92nd). Red card: Struijk (60th).
