Liverpool’s problems in central midfield look set to ease following the international break after Arthur Melo and Fabio Carvalho got vital minutes under their belts.
The Reds have been hampered by injuries in the early stages of the season, with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones all sidelined, while Thiago Alcantara and Carvalho have both picked up issues too. Thiago returned from his hamstring injury recently, but Carvalho has been absent from the past two games with a dead leg.
After initially insisting he did not need any more players, Jurgen Klopp changed his tune towards the back end of the summer transfer window. Arthur then arrived on a season-long loan from Juventus, but has so far only played 13 minutes as a late substitute in the 4-1 thrashing by Napoli last week.
