.

The Reds’ manager

Jurgen Klopp

has told the reporters that Elliot is in a lot of pain and is probably suffering a dislocated ankle.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Klopp said:

"Harvey Elliott is in hospital, a bad ankle injury for sure. It looked like it was dislocated, the medical department put it back.

"Massive pain, shock for him, for us and we don't know more. We have to wait."

Klopp has also talked about his conversations with the referees following Elliot’s injury and insists that he didn’t care about the color of the card because nothing would help with the injury that the 18-year-old boy went through.

"I couldn't care less [if it was a red], it is not my business,"

he continued.

"It is a serious injury, definitely for an 18-year-old boy. The red card is not important. Two or three weeks we can play on, Harvey will not.

"We played a really good game until Harvey had to go, the whole team was shocked and we lost rhythm. That is normal, human.

"We played as good as we can against Leeds. You have to be ready for brutal intensity. The crowd was there and an exciting football game with us as the deserved winner.

"I spoke to the boys afterwards, we have to speak a little bit about the football but Harvey overshadows it. I like intense football so I probably liked the game."
