Liverpool manager Arne Slot might be concerned about news regarding one of his midfielders currently on international duty.
During the international break, most Liverpool players have left to represent their countries, but one may miss out due to a fitness issue.
Harvey Elliott, who was set to join the England U21 team, has returned to Liverpool for further medical evaluation, as reported by England’s X account.
Elliott has seen minimal action this season under Slot, having only played seven minutes across Liverpool’s first three Premier League games, where he has largely been on the bench.
Elliott was one of three Liverpool players selected for the England U21 squad for Euro qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Austria. Jarell Quansah and Tyler Morton are the other two players called up.
The specifics of Elliott’s injury remain unclear, but he would have been eager to represent his country given his limited club appearances.
With Liverpool facing a busy schedule involving the Premier League, Carabao Cup, and Champions League, Slot will need to rely on his squad depth.
The Reds boss will be hoping Elliott’s issue isn’t serious and that he can contribute during this demanding period.
