Slot used all five of his substitutes against Newcastle on Wednesday night but Elliott was not among them, despite getting a run out against Man City at the weekend.

Jamie Carragher believes Slot doesn’t trust Elliott and that becomes more apparent with each match that passes.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ Gilette Soccer Special, Tim Sherwood stated that the Reds midfielder was angry and annoyed on the Liverpool bench and has encouraged the 21-year-old to leave Anfield.

“The trouble is for players like Harvey Elliott, I watched him and I was really impressed with what I saw,” Sherwood stated.

He’s made five subs there tonight, and still no Harvey Elliott and you know, he’s not happy.

“They’ve got players like that and you need players like that, who want to play and want to affect it.

“If you don’t play and listen, he would be happy picking up a trophy and a medal but in the end, he will want to contribute a lot more than what he’s done.”

Slot has described Elliott as a ‘talented’ player this season, however, the Dutch coach does not seem to trust the midfielder as much as Jurgen Klopp did.

The 21-year-old has received just 503 minutes of action throughout the 2024/25 campaign, which is not enough for the youngster to develop.

The Englishman is a player Liverpool will not want to let go, but it may be best for everyone involved as Brighton and Borussia Dortmund are interested in Elliott, with both clubs being the perfect destination for the Reds talent.

The way Elliott has been used this season by Slot suggests that the youngster could be heading for the exit door this summer and being a Liverpool fan, the midfielder will want to end his time at Anfield on a high.
