# Liverpool: Fans love positive Harvey Elliott update

**A number of Liverpool supporters are delighted after James Pearce claimed Reds youngster Harvey Elliott should play again this season.**

Jurgen Klopp’s side may have won 3-0 at Leeds United last Sunday, but in many ways, it was a difficult result to feel too happy about.

Elliott’s dislocated ankle tarnished what should have been a celebratory afternoon at Elland Road, with the 18-year-old stretchered off in the second half.

It was a cruel blow for the midfielder, who has looked so impressive in the early weeks of the season, justifying the faith Klopp has shown in him.

On Tuesday, Pearce confirmed on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1437840696652804097?s=20) that Elliott underwent successful surgery on the injury and should play again this season.

While a long spell on the sidelines is still expected, it is a positive update that suggests his absence won’t be as long-term as Virgil van Dijk’s last season, for example.
