Liverpool star Harvey Elliott has suffered an injury while on duty for England’s under-21 team. The Liverpool Midfielder who has yet to earn his first start for the club this season under the new manager will have to delay.
Harvey Elliott had a very promising period under Jurgen Klopp last season. The Former Liverpool manager had used him in different roles, ranging from left winger, right winger, and an attacking midfielder. However, the Englishman has shown to be more efficient in the attacking midfield role. Arne Slot also complimented him during the pre-season, as he hoped the 21-year-old would be of great use to the team. Slot plans for the youngster seem to be a rotational option for Dominik Szoboszlai in the 10 role. However now that he is injured Slot will have to find alternatives.
Harvey Elliott’s injury details
It was stated by a Liverpool news reporter Paul Joyce that Harvey Elliott will be out for a few weeks. He said: “Harvey Elliott expected to be out until late October due to a fractured foot, He won’t be available at least until the end of the next international break.”
Other reports continued saying: “Elliott is believed to be hopeful of getting back on the pitch on the other side of the international break next month, with the Reds due to meet Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday, October 20.”
Effects on the Liverpool Squad
Arne Slot spoke about how his team has a double of options in almost every role. The only position that had doubt was that of Mohammed Salah, however, Liverpool’s signing of Federico Chiesa answered that. With this in mind, Arne Slot will be planning to rotate his squad ahead of the large number of games ahead. Which are League games, Champions League games, and League cups.
For the 10 roles, Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai were the two occupying. With Elliott out till October ends, it’ll imply that a heavy load of work will fall on Szoboszlai. The Hungarian might have to play a number of games till October. However, Arne Slot might have an interesting idea, to help reduce the workload on the Hungarian.
Temporary Replacements for Elliott
Liverpool had sold Fabio Carvalho during the summer transfer window. The Portuguese could have been a good number 10 option for Arne Slot, however, the 21-year-old demanded a starting shirt which could not be guaranteed. The options remaining as alternative 10 for the Merseyside club will fall back to the Liverpool academy boy who has been impressive during the pre-season, Trey Nyoni. The 17-year-old who is very versatile can be a great utility for the Liverpool squad, especially in the 10 role.
Another option for Arne Slot would be Cody Gakpo. The Dutch winger is known to be very versatile upfront. During Klopp’s period, he functioned in different areas of the pitch. With this Arne Slot might want to lean on him when it’s time to rest Szoboszlai.
