Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted new signing Arthur Melo "needs football" after completing a deadline day move.
The Brazil international joined on a season-long loan from Juventus, with Liverpool holding an option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign. His move was necessitated by an injury pile-up at Anfield, with Jordan Henderson the latest member of Klopp's squad to be ruled out.
Arthur, who joined Juve for £62.5m from Barcelona in 2020, has not played a minute of competitive football since last season's Coppa Italia final. And, ahead of the Reds' Champions League trip to Napoli, Klopp explained the situation facing his new recruit.
