Liverpool handed HUGE Harvey Elliott injury UPDATE ahead of Brighton

Elliott suffered an ankle ligament injury in pre-season win over Napoli

Liverpool have been handed a boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Brighton after Harvey Elliott returned to training. The 19-year-old has been sidelined since suffering an ankle ligament injury in the pre-season win over Napoli in July. Elliott has been a key player for Liverpool this season, making 13 appearances in all competitions and scoring three goals. His return to training will be a welcome boost for Jurgen Klopp, who is without a number of other players due to injury. Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Arthur Melo are all currently out injured. Elliott is not expected to start against Brighton, but he could be in contention for a place on the bench.
