Liverpool player who has become a problem for Klopp

Arthur Melo has become a real problem for Jürgen Klopp. The German coach needed a midfielder in the absence of Naby Keita due to injury, but he did not find one in the former Gremio of Porto Alegre. According to English media, the Brazilian is not in shape, his attitude with the DT is not the best and he demands minutes without deserving them.

Klopp had no choice but to send him to add minutes of form with the youth team. In other words, practically, the 2017 CONMEBOL Libertadores Cup winner will be part of the reserve squad. As if he were playing for Real Madrid's Castilla team or for Barça B in the culé team. He is only 26 years old and his career has stalled in an unthinkable way.

The youth player who can take the place of Darwin Núñez

His talent is undeniable, but no one can understand why he has not yet found a place in any European club, why he did not look for better options on another scale, in a second level team? From Gremio he went to Barcelona, then Juventus and now Liverpool? Nor has he been able to escape injury in the last four years.

The 'Reds' are suffering at the start of the season due to a lack of variants. Thiago started the campaign injured, as did centre-backs Konaté and Matip, Keita is missing, Elliott does not provide security and Darwin Núñez is not at the expected level. Arthur was thought to be Alcántara's direct replacement, but his level, pace and fitness did not match that intention.

Arthur played with the Reds' youth team 

The immediate solution is to give him a run-out with the reserve team while his teammates go to their national teams. He even lost that. Brazil were Copa America champions in 2019 with him in midfield, now he is not among Tité's options. No wonder a Champions League finalist coach like Allegri didn't want to keep him in his squad.
