Arthur Melo has yet to really experience any football with Liverpool and a serious thigh injury has ruled him out for an unknown period of time, which led to Jurgen Klopp being asked if his loan spell would be cut short because of this. .
Speaking to the media before the Leeds match, the 55-year-old was first asked if the Brazilian was completing his rehab with us and said: “He’s here. That is a long-term injury, when he returns we will think about it again but for now it is too far away. I have no idea how long it will be, but it will be long, it’s a really serious injury.”

Asked if there was a clause to shorten the deal, the manager simply said “No” and then, when asked if the midfielder would stay at the club for the whole season, replied “Yes”.
Of course, it’s terrible news for Juventus on loan that he’ll likely experience very little football with us, but the door is left open, if he’s fit enough to return at some point in this long campaign.
