Jurgen Klopp has been boosted by the news that Liverpool midfielder Arthur is a fortnight ahead of schedule as he works his way back to fitness following surgery on a thigh injury.
Arthur joined the Reds in a deadline-day loan deal from Juventus back in the summer but struggled to make an early impression. While the 26-year-old put in extra training sessions in a bid to force his way into Klopp's plans, he tore a muscle back in October.
The midfield maestro was expected to be missing for up to three months after undergoing surgery to amend the issue - but it has been revealed that Arthur is on course to return to action sooner than initially planned.
