Jurgen Klopp was delighted by Harvey Elliott’s ‘fairytale’ return for Liverpool as the 18-year marked his first appearance since dislocating his ankle back in September with his first Reds goal.
The teenanger returned to first team training last month, with his manager previously admitted he had to stop himself from throwing the youngster straight back into senior action, such was the impression he made on his return to training.
But the midfielder made up for any lost time in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Cardiff City on Sunday, scoring the Reds’ third to book their place in the FA Cup fifth round.
