Harvey Elliott shares Liverpool injury update with two-word message ahead of Chelsea clash

He shared a video of himself working alone in the gym and on the training pitches on Monday, captioning the Instagram post: “See you soon!”

Wednesday also saw him post several photos from those sessions before continuing on Friday. “With him!” Elliott captioned some photos of him working at Kirkby, the latest of which shows him dribbling a football for the first time since his injury.

Asked about injuries, Reds boss Slot said on Friday morning: “Alisson will certainly not be with us in the coming weeks, that is clear. So that’s a blow for him and for us because I think he’s done really well this season and has done so well for this club for so many years.

“The good thing is, and I have said this many times, that Caoimhin (Kelleher) has done well for us in previous years and this season, so we have a good replacement. But you always want all your players to be available.

“Now we have quite a few problems with players coming back from the national teams, and we can only judge that perfectly today, because today is the first time that they all participate and the first time that they all train together again. After the session, let’s see where everyone is.

“Macca (Alexis Mac Allister) missed one game (for Argentina), he played the second. Kostas (Tsimikas) missed the first game against England so I can name them all, but we have a few problems and let’s see where we are today. (Wataru) Endo was also sick.”
