Liverpool have received a potential injury boost after top transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano claimed midfielder Arthur Melo could return to action at the end of the month.
The 26-year-old Melo only joined the Reds from Juventus in the summer, but after sustaining an early injury and requiring surgery, the 26-year-old has only managed one appearance.
Ahead of his loan, which is set to end at the end of the season, Melo, according to Romano, could finally rack up some playing time after his final round of trials were confirmed to take place within the next “days or weeks”. . .

This will be great news for manager Jurgen Klopp, who is now preparing for the Premier League restart on December 26.
Entering a fiercely congested period of festive matches, Liverpool, like all clubs, will need the majority of their squad to be fit and available, and the imminent reintroduction of Melo into first-team action will give the German the least one more quality option.
