Harvey Elliott would be forgiven even the merest suggestion of slightly mixed feelings at Liverpool's strong end to the season.
As the Reds have put together a six-match winning run to give themselves an outside chance of Champions League qualification, the youngster has predominantly been left watching from the substitutes' bench.
There was a busy performance as a starter against Tottenham Hotspur a fortnight ago before being replaced shortly after the hour, and a brief cameo against former club Fulham a few days later. That, though, has been it. As someone who recently admitted being "heartbroken" whenever he doesn't play, it has been a testing time for Elliott.
