Harvey Elliott was not included in Liverpool's squad for their match against Newcastle United on August 25, raising questions about his future at the club. The 23-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, is reportedly facing an uncertain situation as he has no offers on the table. His exclusion from the squad was not due to transfer negotiations or injury. With the transfer window closing soon, Elliott, whose contract expires next summer, may need to seek opportunities elsewhere to ensure he gets ample playing time this season.
- •Elliott missed the match against Newcastle on August 25.
- •He has not received any transfer offers ahead of the deadline.
- •His contract with Liverpool expires next summer.
- •Elliott needs regular playing time to avoid another lost season.
- •Additional attacking signings at Liverpool could further limit his role.

"It was a little under a month ago when, in the bowels of the Yankee Stadium in New York, Harvey Elliott spoke candidly about his emotions after a "tough" loan spell at Aston Villa and why this summer felt like a second chance for him at Liverpool. On the first weekend of the Premier League season, though, Elliott was left out of the Liverpool squad for their trip to Newcastle United - and it now looks increasingly likely the 23-year-old could be on his way out before the transfer window closes. Liverpool have received no offers for Elliott, who spent last season on loan, and his exclusion from the squad on Sunday was not transfer or injury related.
