The midfielder has been on loan with Aston Villa from the Reds for the majority of the current campaign.<\/p>\n
However, Elliott has been limited to only 284 minutes on the pitch across the term.<\/p>\n
Slot was asked about Elliott\u2019s situation at his press conference today to preview Liverpool\u2019s trip to Villa on Friday night.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI think for him, for everyone, it didn\u2019t work out as he wanted it, as we wanted it and probably also how Villa wanted it, because you usually sign a player or bring him in on loan to use him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat hasn\u2019t happened a lot. That\u2019s not for me to answer why that is. But of course, it\u2019s never nice for a player not to make so many minutes, especially after the season he had with us, where he made \u2013 I assume \u2013 even more minutes with us than these 280.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went over there to get more playing time, but unfortunately that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd for such a talented player that did so well in the U21 Euros (last summer), you want a player like that to get more and more playing time.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went to a very, very good team as well, where they also have a lot of good players. I don\u2019t know why he hasn\u2019t made the minutes he was expecting. That\u2019s not for me to answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s always a pity if a player hardly plays for two years, let alone a player of that age that has shown during the (U21) Euros that he\u2019s such a good player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Slot added: \u201cHe\u2019s contracted to us so he will be with us in the start of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
