Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott picked up a serious-looking ankle injury at Elland Road over the weekend.
The midfielder clashed with Leeds United’s Pascal Struijk and hit the ground, requiring medical attention immediately.
It has been confirmed by Liverpool that Elliott will undergo surgery this week – further updates are expected in due course.
Blackburn Rovers, who had the teenager on loan last season, issued a message of support on social media for the teenager shortly after his injury.
