The Liverpool player who is having a terrible time with his injury and is not Luis Díaz

Injuries have continued to affect Arthur Melo's career. Physical problems marked the Brazilian's experiences at Barcelona and Turin, and now they have once again put the brakes on his chances at Liverpool. The midfielder will be out of action for three to four months and will therefore miss the World Cup. Faced with this difficult situation, Arthur wanted to thank the support received with a publication on social networks.

The last week has not been the best for me.... Unfortunately, as you know, an unfortunate injury to my left thigh will keep me out of action for a while'. It comes just when, after a huge effort and a lot of hard work, I was ready to settle into my new team and determined to fight for my dream of playing in a World Cup," he continued. Despite this setback, Arthur is not fazed: "Now it's time for me to keep my head up and join forces with my family and do whatever it takes with my team to make sure I come back stronger as soon as possible'.

"No obstacle will stop me from progressing in my career and I have a great ambition to show what I can do on the field. In the meantime, I will continue to support my Liverpool team-mates and my beloved Brazil national team - thank you for all the messages of support!" he concluded. Melo has made 22 appearances for Brazil since his debut in 2018 and joined Liverpool on loan from Italy's Juventus in pre-season. (Reporting by Tommy Lund in Gdansk.

The Brazilian midfielder suffered a muscle injury last week that ultimately turned out to be more serious than expected. As The Athletic reported on Saturday, Arthur Melo was set to undergo surgery this weekend. The midfielder is expected to be sidelined for 3-4 months. This is explained by CBS Sports, which says that the player's form and the injury have made the Reds decide not to pay the 37.5 million euros they had to pay to acquire his services definitively.

Arthur's future is complicated

Juventus were urgently looking for a way out for Arthur. In fact, they closed the signing of Paredes, another sign that they did not count on him. The problem lies in the fact that he is Brazilian and a non-EU player. Valencia CF had already negotiated with the Italian club but the economic demands were not up to what Valencia CF could afford. The departure of Maxi Gómez from Valencia CF left a non-EU player, but Valencia preferred to opt for Ilaix Moriba, who arrived to replace Carlos Soler. The Guinean is younger, but he already knows the club and Gattuso believed he could adapt well to his system.
