What happened. Harvey Elliott has been accused of being 'well overweight for his physique' by Spanish outlet Marca after a difficult start to his season-long loan at Valencia. He is yet to start a LaLiga game, making only three substitute appearances.

• Marca claims an 'atypical pre-season' at Liverpool left his fitness levels suboptimal.
• The international break gives him three weeks to work on fitness.
• Javier Aguirre is arriving as Valencia's new manager.

With no England involvement, Elliott is urged to use the international break to regain sharpness before Aguirre takes charge.
