Determination of Harvey Elliott

Yeah, if you're doing it on your own it must be a lonely slog. Getting encouragement and support from the fanbase really could help motivate you in a long rehabilitation.
 
I thought he'd only be running in mid Nov. Looks like he'll be running in early November.

He's only been out 2 months, so he won't have to recuperate too much fitness lost. Incredible progress.
 
Guess I was wrong with my January guess. Hopefully he'll be back by late December.
 
We've been through this with Virgil last year, running in a straight line is not a great indicator of a return to full training. Once you see him doing drills where he's rapidly changing direction and sprinting then he will be getting near to full team training.

Mid to late January I reckon based on his progress so far
 
Harvey Elliott injury update: Remarkable progress but there are still plenty of hurdles to come

Liverpool’s first-team physiotherapist Chris Morgan was on the scene within seven seconds of Harvey Elliott wincing in agony. Club doctor Jim Moxon was just behind him. Within 20 seconds they had put the stricken teenager’s dislocated left ankle joint back in place.
Their speed and medical expertise on a traumatic afternoon for players and staff at Elland Road in September proved crucial in terms of limiting damage to the surrounding nerves and blood vessels.
Twelve weeks on and the care Elliott received — coupled with his unwavering professionalism and dedication to a gruelling rehabilitation programme — has helped him to make rapid strides.
He’s back running outside at the AXA Training Centre under the guidance of the club’s rehab fitness coach David Rydings. His load is being gradually increased. At times there’s still a degree of stiffness in the joint but that’s to be expected at this stage of his recovery.
Since Moxon expressed his confidence shortly after the surgery that Elliott would play again this season, Liverpool have been reluctant to put a timeframe on his return and that remains the case.
“When Harvey will be back I have no idea,” manager Jurgen Klopp said recently. “He’s our long-term prospect and we will not rush it.“
There are still significant hurdles for Elliott to clear as twisting, turning and ball work is added to his programme in the coming weeks. As the intensity levels are cranked up, minor setbacks can occur.
However, The Athletic understands that if everything continues to go smoothly he should be given the green light to resume team training at some point in January. Then it’s a case of getting fully up to speed before making his comeback. Nothing is set in stone at this stage but the prospect of having him back available for the final three months of the season is currently deemed realistic.
Losing Elliott in such cruel circumstances just weeks after he had established himself in a new midfield role in Klopp’s team was a bitter pill for both player and club to swallow. But as far as fracture dislocations go, the damage around the joint could have been much worse.
That’s why four to five months recovery has been regarded as a reasonable target for Elliott rather than six to seven. Currently, he’s bang on course.
