A little about the topic
England Under-17 International, in what was his fourth appearance of the season, got entangled with Struijk in the middle of the second half of West Yorkshire’s top fixture. With both men chasing the ball, their legs tangled and Harvey Elliott was left writhing in agony. Pascal Struijk was shown a straight red card, with the Liverpool bench angry and shocked at what they witnessed. Harvey was pulled out of the field after long-term treatment and taken straight to the hospital. Harvey Elliott was discharged from medical care Sunday night but is due for surgery this week as a clearer timeline is imposed on his rehab.
