Liverpool U23s midfielder Elijah Dixon-Bonner is hoping to be back in action before the end of the season after damaging a knee ligament against Huddersfield Town last Friday.
The 19-year-old was forced off in the second half of the Premier League Cup match at Kirkby following a challenge with a Terriers player.
While the injury will keep him out for around six to eight weeks, Dixon-Bonner is determined to come back even stronger and his U23s coach Neil Critchley has no doubts that he will.
"Elijah has played a lot of football for us this year and done extremely well," said Critchley.
