Emery acknowledged the situation, saying it was "embarrassing for everyone involved." He also expressed his personal regret, stating that the outcome was difficult for Elliott, the club, and himself.

Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, has given Elliott the opportunity to impress in pre-season training, indicating that a decision on his future will be made after that period.

Slot noted that Elliott's loan did not work out as planned for either the player, the club, or Villa, as the intention was to utilize him more frequently.
