Liverpool fans can breathe easy as Harvey Elliott has shrugged off injury fears following a rough challenge in the Carabao Cup final.
The midfielder was seen training with England’s under-21s on Wednesday, putting concerns to rest. The 21-year-old midfielder, who limped off following a reckless challenge from Newcastle’s Joelinton, was seen training with England’s under-21s on Wednesday.
The incident, which left fans worried, occurred late in Sunday’s final. Joelinton’s off-the-ball tackle saw Elliott dragged down by the neck and caught on both ankles, forcing him to hobble out of Wembley. Despite the severity of the challenge, VAR surprisingly took no action, leaving many scratching their heads.

Thankfully, Elliott has recovered quickly and is now part of the England U21s squad for their upcoming friendlies against France and Portugal. This call-up is a significant moment for the young midfielder, who has struggled for consistent game time at Liverpool this season.
With just four starts and 587 minutes under his belt, Elliott has found himself on the outskirts of Arne Slot’s plans. This international break offers him a chance to regain form and confidence.
