The English Football Association (FA) said on Friday that Elliott, 16, admitted to a breach of its rules after impersonating England captain Kane on a Snapchat video during last season's Champions League final when Liverpool beat Spurs in Madrid.
Elliott, who made his Liverpool debut in a 2-0 League Cup win at MK Dons last month, issued an apology when the video came to light earlier this season.
The FA said in a statement that the video constituted an "aggravated breach" of its rules as it included reference to disability.
Elliott was also fined £350 pounds and asked to complete a "face-to-face education course."
