Harvey Elliott entered pre-season hoping for a fresh start at Liverpool following a tough loan spell at Aston Villa last season, where he made only nine appearances.
Despite featuring prominently in early friendlies under Andoni Iraola, the 23-year-old midfielder was benched upon the return of World Cup players and left out entirely against Newcastle.
Liverpool have received no offers for Elliott, and his absence was not due to an injury or a pending transfer, though his contract is set to expire next summer.
Elliott acknowledged in America that he needs to be selfish about his future and secure regular playing time to avoid another wasted season on the sidelines.
With only a week remaining in the transfer window and further attacking signings anticipated at Anfield, a move elsewhere in the Premier League or Europe appears likely.
