Virgil van Dijk has said Liverpool will get behind Harvey Elliott after his horrific injury against Leeds United on Sunday.

18-year-old Elliott had to be stretchered off the ground after suffering a serious ankle injury.

Van Dijk spent a major portion of last season in recovery from a knee injury, and the Dutchman says Elliott will be fully supported by the club.

Speaking to the club's website after the 3-0 win, van Dijk said: "First and foremost, all our thoughts and prayers are going to Harvey.

"Hopefully he recovers quickly and as good as possible from it. Obviously we have no idea what the diagnosis is at the moment but it looked bad. Apart from that, it was a fantastic win here. Intense game, I enjoyed every bit [of] the atmosphere because obviously you didn't experience this for a while. So, two feelings that's there.

"The good thing is that I've experienced all the players, the staff, everyone around Liverpool, fans, that they have my back and were there for me in difficult times too. I'm 100 per cent sure that we're all going to be really there for him. Our club Liverpool will also be there for him no matter what."
