Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has dismissed FA concerns for Harvey Elliott.
Klopp says has not yet spoken to Elliott after he was seen holding a flare during Liverpool's Carabao Cup celebrations but is planning to do so.
"Harvey is a very young man on the pitch and outside it he is more of a young boy," said Klopp. "But that's not a problem, he made a mistake.
"And because of his responsibility as a role model working in public I can understand 100% I will tell him not to do it again. But do I think it's the worst thing in football? No.
"I got carried away and I'm nearly four times older than him, so it can happen."
