Liverpool have received a big injury boost in the shape of Harvey Elliott returning to light training.

The 18-year-old suffered a fracture dislocation of his ankle just four games into what looked set to be his breakout year.

Initial speculation suggested that Elliott could have potentially missed the majority of the current season after undergoing surgery.

However, his rehabilitation has been going really well, and he returned to light training on Monday.

Elliott was running on the outside pitches at the Reds’ training complex at Kirkby for the first time since his injury in September.

And on Tuesday, Liverpool shared a heartwarming video of Jurgen Klopp giving Elliott a hug on the training ground.

Liverpool fans loved what they saw and praised the exchange on Twitter:

Elliott joined Liverpool in 2019 from Fulham, arriving at Anfield to much fanfare.

He started all of Liverpool’s opening four Premier League games after an impressive pre-season and season-long loan at Blackburn during 2020-21.
