Harvey Elliott’s posting of photos of himself working out in the gym appears to have put him one step closer to returning to Liverpool. The midfield player missed the last month of games due to a foot fracture.
During the September international break, Elliott, 21, suffered a setback while training with the England under-21 team. Due to the unfortunate injury, he has only played once under new head coach Arne Slot.
That came as a late substitute in the first home game of the season against Brentford. Elliott was on the bench for the August away games against Manchester United and Ipswich Town, but he was otherwise used.
But those games took place before the team’s League Cup and Champions League campaigns started. However, the England under-21 player seems optimistic about making a quick comeback.

On Monday, he posted a video of himself exercising alone on the training fields and in the gym to Instagram with the remark, “See you soon!”
He also shared some pictures from those sessions on Wednesday before continuing on Friday. “With him!” The final image Elliott captioned had him dribbling a football for the first time since his recovery, along with other photos of him working at Kirkby.
When asked about injuries on Friday morning, Reds manager Slot stated: “It’s obvious that Alisson won’t be with us in the coming weeks.” That’s a setback for him and us, as I believe he performed admirably this season and for this club for many years.
The good news is that we have a good substitute in Caoimhin [Kelleher], who has performed well for us both this season and in prior years, as I have stated numerous times. However, you want every player available at all times.
“We have a lot of problems with players returning from the national teams, and since this is the first time they are all together and training together again, we can only evaluate it accurately today. Let’s see where everyone is after the session.
“Macca [Alexis Mac Allister] played in the second game for Argentina after missing the first one. I can include them all because Kostas [Tsimikas] was not present in the opening match against England, but we have a few problems, so let’s wait and see where we stand at the end of the day. [Wataru] Endo was ill as well.
