Brazilian Arthur Melo will be out of Liverpool for the next few months after it was determined that he will have to undergo surgery. The Athletic reported the news and informed that the estimated time out will be between three or four months. Meanwhile, Jürgen Klopp announced that the former Barcelona and Juventus player had suffered a muscular setback.

However, the prognosis was worse than expected, forcing him to undergo surgery. It is worth remembering that Melo has had a recurring issue with injuries, given that he had barely been able to be at Klopp's disposal. Arthur Melo landed in England at the request of Jurgen Klopp, who saw the Brazilian as a player with great capabilities to give greater depth to a midfield that has been hit by injuries before and at the start of the 2022-2023 season of football in the old continent.

On this occasion, the Brazilian was again unlucky not to have all the luck in the world once again, as he was initially not seeing minutes with Juventus and Liverpool emerged as an important opportunity. However, the young midfielder suffered an injury in the last training session with the Reds and will have to undergo surgery to repair this new setback that will keep him off the pitch until 2023.

It is important to note that Arthur Melo arrived at Anfield on loan and with an option to buy, this last point was being taken into account by the English board, but with this injury, everything will depend on the decision of both clubs and how the second half of the campaign ends. Likewise, the Brazilian will not only miss the rest of the year, but also says goodbye to fight for a place in Tite's squad for the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

Arthur will be eligible to play again until 2023

Although his presence in the most important tournament at national team level, showed that Melo did not count for the national team. Arthur Melo must now focus on his recovery so that he can return to full fitness and regain the confidence of himself, coach Jurgen Klopp and the fans.
