Liverpool onloan midfielder Arthur Melo is expected to be out for three months after injury in training
Arthur underwent surgery in London on Saturday, with the player now set to be out until the new year.
The Brazilian has appeared for just 13 minutes for Liverpool since joining on a season-long loan from Juventus on transfer deadline day. He has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League, with his sole outing coming as a substitute in a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Napoli to last month.
Liverpool paid Juventus a £4m loan fee for Arthur’s services and have an option to buy him for £33m next summer. That currently looks very unlikely.
The 26-year-old’s injury means he will miss out on Brazil’s squad for the World Cup, which begins on Nov. 20.
