Reports say that Harvey Elliott broke his foot during the international break, which makes Liverpool’s already short list of injured players even worse.

The Reds have had a nearly perfect start to the season under Arne Slot. They have won all three of their games without giving up a goal, and they are now in second place in the Premier League ranks.

They have to play Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, but one of their best players is hurt and won’t be able to play.

Elliott, who played well under Jurgen Klopp near the end of the previous season, broke his foot while practicing with England’s Under-21 team while on international service. This information came out in The Telegraph.

The news has a big effect on Liverpool because it means they will have more things to do once the Champions League starts.

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.
