Elliott injury overshadows Liverpool’s win at LeedsAFP, LEEDS, EnglandVirgil van Dijk offered his support to Liverpool’s teenage star Harvey Elliott after the 18-year-old midfielder’s left ankle was dislocated, overshadowing an impressive 3-0 win for the Reds at Leeds United on Sunday. Leeds midfielder Pascal Struijk was sent off for a challenge from behind on Elliott midway through the second half. By that point, Liverpool were already comfortably ahead thanks to Mohamed Salah’s 100th English Premier League goal and Fabinho’s 50th-minute strike. Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott receives medical attention after sustaining an injury in their English Premier League match against Leeds United at Elland Road in Leeds, England, on Sunday. Van Dijk’s own long-term injury — cruciate ligament damage in his right knee — derailed Liverpool’s title defense last season.
