The 21-year-old has had a tough start to the season, struggling to secure a regular place under new manager Arne Slot.
*The Times* has revealed that Elliott’s injury is more severe than initially thought, likely keeping him sidelined for about six weeks.
Known for his versatility and technical ability, Elliott has yet to consistently deliver on his potential at Anfield, and this season was seen as a pivotal opportunity for him to solidify his role in the team.
However, there is some positive news for Liverpool, as Curtis Jones is set to make his return soon, offering relief to a squad that has shown strong depth this season.
Despite Elliott’s absence, the team is expected to cope well, and fans will be hopeful that the England Under-21 international can make a strong comeback when he returns next month.
Liverpool have begun the season impressively under Slot, who took over from Jurgen Klopp after joining from Feyenoord in the summer.
The Dutch manager has guided the Reds to three consecutive Premier League victories, including a commanding 3-0 win over Manchester United before the international break.
Liverpool will look to continue their winning streak when they face Nottingham Forest at home on Saturday, aiming to solidify their status as title contenders this season.
