# Liverpool: Fans go wild over Harvey Elliott injury update

**A number of Liverpool supporters have responded positively to James Pearce’s claim that Harvey Elliott is closing in on a return from injury.**

The 18-year-old has been absent since the middle of September after he suffered a [dislocated ankle](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58538220) in the 3-0 win away to Leeds United.

It was a cruel blow for Elliott, who had begun the season in hugely impressive form, [starting three Premier League matches](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/363982/Show/Harvey-Elliott) and not looking remotely out of his depth.

While there were initial fears that the midfielder could be out for the entire season, he has been making remarkable progress in his recovery from that setback.

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3022771/2021/12/18/liverpool-score-tottenham-lfc-spurs-thfc/)‘s Pearce \[via [Anfield Edition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1472589037802344462?s=20) on Twitter\], Elliott is expected to return to full training next month, assuming everything goes to plan.
