Liverpool will be ready to make a visit to North London without the help of loan signing Arthur Melo.

It’s a great shame for the 26-year-old given how hard he has been working in the international break to get back up to speed and ready for selection.

At the current time, it’s unclear how long exactly we’ll be without our No.29, who Alisson Becker previously dubbed a ‘fantastic player’ (as reported by Sky Sports, via HITC), though we can only hope it’s a brief rest period for the midfielder amid his continued attempts to break into the first team.
His latest setback certainly won’t help overcome the thoughts of some fans who suspect the club merely secured ‘another body’ to boost numbers at the height of our mid-park injury crisis.
We wish Arthur a speedy recovery in a particularly intense month of football for Liverpool.
