# Liverpool: David Lynch shares Harvey Elliott injury update

**Reliable journalist David Lynch has shared an injury update on [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) starlet Harvey Elliott after he was withdrawn early against Bournemouth due to a minor concern.**

### **The Lowdown: Liverpool back to winning ways**

After getting off to their [worst start](https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/2022/08/23/the-reasons-liverpool-have-made-their-worst-start-to-a-season-under-jurgen-klopp/) in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) in ten years, Jurgen Klopp’s men bounced back to winning ways with an emphatic [9-0 victory](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12682759/liverpool-9-0-bournemouth-rampant-reds-equal-premier-league-record-win) over Scott Parker’s Bournemouth side at Anfield on Saturday.

Scoring [five goals in the first half](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1563539090863452160) of an English top-flight game for the first time since 1958, the Reds secured their [biggest-ever Premier League win](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/08/liverpool-9-0-bournemouth-reds-record-biggest-ever-premier-league-win/) with goals from Elliott, Luis Diaz (two), Alexander-Arnold, Roberto Firmino (two), Virgil van Dijk and Fabio Carvalho.

### **The Latest: Elliott injury latest**

Worryingly for Liverpool fans, Elliott was replaced at [half-time](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/harvey-elliott-injury-liverpool-news-24872744) by former Fulham team-mate Carvalho. Furthermore, he was [spotted limping](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/harvey-elliott-injury-liverpool-news-24872744) towards the bench ahead of the second half.

Amid worries of the youngster having sustained another injury following on from his [ankle fracture](https://theathletic.com/news/harvey-elliott-ankle-surgery-to-take-place-in-london-today-says-jurgen-klopp/e67u4aU7cWI6) last season, which kept him out for [five months](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-cardiff-city/report/462171), Lynch shared an update on the 19-year-old, confirming Klopp’s relief with the player avoiding a potential scare.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dmlynch/status/1563568712762167296), the journalist stated: “Harvey Elliott was withdrawn due to a minor injury concern but Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool showed extra caution because of the scoreline and post-match checks have shown up no issue.”

### **The Verdict: Good news at last**

The news that Elliott will be fine for the Reds’ next game against Newcastle on Wednesday night will come as a huge relief for Klopp, who has already been plagued with injuries in the middle of the park so far this season.

Liverpool are [currently without](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpools-injury-list-suspensions-and-availability) the likes of Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, meaning that James Milner has been [utilised](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-milner/leistungsdaten/spieler/3333) far more often than he might have expected just a few weeks ago.

\[freshpress-poll id=”305166″\]

Considering how the number of injuries has thrust him into regular first-team action, Elliott has proven to be a fantastic midfielder for Klopp, having averaged an impressive [7.05 SofaScore match rating](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/liverpool/44) during the Reds’ first four league games of the campaign and [7.8](https://www.sofascore.com/afc-bournemouth-liverpool/Uskb) in yesterday’s nine-goal romp.

Therefore, his availability for midweek will be music to the ears of Klopp, and indeed Liverpool fans everywhere.
