Leeds defender Struijk apologises to Liverpool ace Elliott - 'Never meant for this to happen'

Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk has apologised to Harvey Elliott after the Liverpool player injured his ankle on Sunday.

Struijk caught Elliott from behind with a poorly timed challenge in the second half of Liverpool's 3-0 win at Elland Road.

Elliott had to be stretchered off the pitch, and Struijk was apologetic after the match.

"In today's game, something happened that I would never wish on anyone," Struijk wrote on his Instagram story.

"@HarveyElliott07, my thoughts are with you. I'm gutted and never meant for this to happen.

"I wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you back on the pitch soon."
