Liverpool could reportedly consider recalling Harvey Elliott from his loan spell at Blackburn Rovers early following Diogo Jota's injury.

Jota has made a blistering start to his Anfield career, but the Portuguese attacker is now set to remain on the sidelines for six to eight weeks with a knee problem.

Elliott was shipped out on loan to Blackburn earlier this year, and the 17-year-old has made an impression at the Championship outfit with three goals and four assists in 13 league matches.

However, according to The Mirror, Jurgen Klopp could elect to cut Elliott's loan spell at Ewood Park short, and the youngster could enjoy more first-team action with the Premier League champions as Jota recovers.

The Englishman moved to Anfield from Fulham in the summer of 2019, and Elliott has turned out nine times for Klopp's side since his arrival on Merseyside.

Liverpool are also struggling with injuries defensively and have reportedly identified Inter Milan's Stefan de Vrij as a potential solution in January.
