Jurgen Klopp could hand Arthur Melo his Liverpool debut in Wednesday night's Champions League clash against Napoli as his midfield options continue to run thin.
Although the Reds were boosted by Thiago's return to training on Tuesday, it is unlikely the Spaniard will be risked so soon after recovering from a substantial hamstring injury. Liverpool are also without the services of Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Fabio Carvalho is a doubt after suffering a dead leg in Saturday's Premier League draw with Everton.
Arthur can help to fill the void in the centre of the park following his deadline-day loan arrival from Juventus and may join the midfield trio alongside Fabinho and James Milner. Young playmaker Harvey Elliott has had plenty of minutes in recent Premier League outings but Klopp may opt for battle-hardened Milner's experience for the challenging clash away at Napoli.
