Harvey Elliott's girlfriend has revealed the sweet reason behind an accessory he wears on the pitch.
The Liverpool FC midfielder has been in a relationship with Emelia Scarlett since last year. The 19-year-old regularly shows support for Elliott on her Instagram page.
The talented youngster was hit with injury last season after he suffered a fractured dislocation of his left ankle. Elliott has since recovered from his injury and insisted his problems were behind him following a goal-scoring performance in the FA Cup fourth round in February.

She also revealed on her Instagram Story how Elliott wears her hairband on his wrist when he plays.
Elliott took to his own Instagram profile to commend the team's showing following the win. He said: "Great 3 points away in Kosovo, top performance from the team!"
