Nottingham Forest will be hoping to exploit any advantage they can get when facing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday
The Englishman has actually yet to start a match under his new head coach, Arne Slot, and had only played seven minutes of action as a substitute before this setback. However, with his side due to play seven fixtures in three weeks beginning on Saturday, there was the opportunity for rotation to play a greater role against Nuno Espirito Santo's man.
As reported by The Times, 21-year-old Elliott is to be absent for a 'lengthy' period of time, at minimum a month, starting with Forest's visit. He had been sent home from England Under-21s duty last week with discomfort, with this full diagnosis of a fracture just arriving.
