Harvey Elliott donated Liverpool shirt and boot to young fan in hospital

Even in hospital, Harvey Elliott showed his class

Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott has gifted his match shirt and one of his boots to a young footballer who was also admitted to hospital on Sunday night.

Elliott suffered a nasty injury in the second half of Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Leeds United yesterday afternoon.

The 18-year-old dislocated his ankle after a challenge from Leeds defender Pascal Struijk, who, after a brief VAR check, was shown a straight red card for his tackle.

The youngster, who enjoyed an impressive first half and had seen himself start in three of the Reds’ opening four fixtures, was stretchered off and taken straight to hospital.

The severity of the situation immediately became clear as Mohamed Salah, who was close by at the time of the challenge, frantically waved for medical attention.

Despite suffering what appears to be a long-term injury, Elliot seemed to be in good spirits as he briefly acknowledged the Leeds fans who were applauding him as he exited the field.

He also provided a brief update on his condition via his Instagram as he made his way to hospital in an ambulance.

Whilst in hospital, Elliott still managed to make a young fan’s day (and probably his year) as he gifted the youngster – who had suffered a broken arm during his own football game – his match-worn shirt and one of his boots.

‘My son has just broken his arm at a footy game this afternoon,’ wrote the young kid’s mother.
