Elliott was impeded near the halfway line by Struijk and the players immediately stopped the game as the youngster went down after a malicious tackle. After a long delay, the Leeds United man was sent-off for his challenge and Elliott was replaced by Jordan Henderson, as the youngster was stretchered off the pitch to a standing ovation from both sets of supporters.

Elliott took to Instagram to confirm that he is conscious, as he left a heartfelt message to fans across the world for their love and support.
