According to reports, Harvey Elliott broke his foot during the international break, further hurting Liverpool’s already thin injury list.

The Reds have enjoyed an almost faultless start to the season under Arne Slot, winning all three of their games without conceding a goal and now sitting in second place in the Premier League rankings.

They play Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, but they won’t be able to field one of their top forwards due to an injury.

Elliott, who made an impression under Jurgen Klopp in the latter part of the previous campaign, reportedly broke his foot while practicing with England’s Under-21 team while on international duty. The Telegraph released this information.

The revelation has a significant impact on Liverpool since it means that their calendar will get busier once the Champions League begins.

According to the article, Elliott went for additional evaluation after returning to Liverpool ahead of schedule and complained of discomfort when exercising with the England team during the break.Due to Curtis Jones’s injury, Liverpool is currently without him as well, leaving Slot with little choices in the midfield.This season, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have put in a lot of effort in that area, while Ryan Gravenberch has performed admirably in a more defensive capacity.
