Liverpool teen Harvey Elliott has been banned from football for two weeks.

The suspension is for a social media post in which he insulted England captain Harry Kane.

Elliott, who became the Premier League's youngest ever player in May when he came on as a substitute for Fulham at Wolves, was informed by the Football Association on Friday of his punishment, reports the Daily Mail.

The FA charged Elliott on August 23 after a Snapchat video from June 1 emerged of him referring to Kane, the Tottenham striker, as a 'f****** m***'; the footage never appeared on Elliott's social media channels but it was shared privately by a small group of people then circulated further.

The FA ruled that Elliott who joined Liverpool on July 28 had attempted to impersonate Kane in a 'derogatory and insulting way'; when asked for his observations, Elliott immediately expressed regret and publicly apologised to Kane on Instagram.
