Barry Lewtas has hailed the professionalism new signing Arthur Melo brought to Liverpool's U21s squad after the midfielder was handed his first start for the club during the 1-0 victory over Leicester City.
The Brazilian, who had not started a competitive fixture since May 11, made the move to Merseyside in the summer as J urgen Klopp' s injury crisis continued to grow with Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones and Jordan Henderson all suffering problems before the transfer window closed on September 1.
With Klopp void of short-term options, he sanctioned a season-long loan for Arthur. However, the midfielder has only been used as a bit-part player thus far as he continues to work his way up to full fitness after not being involved in Juventus' pre-season tour of the United States.
