It’s been a strange season for Arthur Melo since joining Liverpool on loan from Juventus on transfer deadline day back in August.
Brought in after the Reds lost Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones to injury in the opening weeks of the season, the Brazilian was ultimately playing catch-up to get fit after a frustrating pre-season of his own.
The former Barcelona midfielder would make his debut coming off the bench against Napoli, featuring for 13 minutes back in September. Eight months on and he hasn’t played for Jurgen Klopp’s first-team since.
