The promising midfielder had crept into the senior squad in the early weeks of the campaign after impressing during pre-season and also on loan with Blackburn Rovers last season. But his progress was almost wiped away in a mere few seconds after sustaining a dislocated ankle against Leeds United back in October.

It is a moment Klopp called one of the worst of his football career, fearing that a talent he had nurtured would be permanently affected by his time of the sidelines. Elliott was stretchered off in agony and taken to hospital, with the club’s fans anxiously waiting for updates.
