Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has suffered a fractured foot while training with the England U21s, sidelining him until at least late October. This injury comes at an inopportune time as Liverpool faces a heavy fixture list, including crucial Premier League matches against Chelsea and Arsenal, and their Champions League opener against AC Milan. Elliott, who had only featured for seven minutes this season, was expected to get more playing time under new manager Arne Slot. Despite the setback, Liverpool's squad remains largely fit with Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister set to return. The team has had a strong start to the season, winning all three of their opening Premier League matches.
