According to Klopp, Arthur Melo’s injury is “REALLY severe.”

Arthur Melo’s injury has been deemed “very severe” by Jurgen Klopp, who also acknowledged that the midfielder would be out “long-term.”

The summer loanee from Juventus who was signed by Liverpool suffered a left thigh injury in training in October.

Before Liverpool’s match against Leeds at Anfield, Klopp responded to a question about an update by saying, “It’s a pretty bad injury.”

“He is here.” It’s a long-term injury, and we’ll revisit it once he recovers.

“I don’t know how long it’ll be, but it’ll be a long time.”

However, it’s now too far away. We won’t be terminating the loan in January, no.

Brazilian player has played only 13 minutes in all competitions since the Reds’ £4 million season-long loan agreement with the Italian powerhouses was signed in August.

A terrible start to the season for Liverpool, who have shown surprisingly poor form and are now seventh in the league, is made worse by Melo’s long-term injury.

On Saturday night at Anfield, Liverpool will welcome Leeds in an effort to avenge their humiliating 1-0 loss to Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest the previous weekend.

‘It is now time for me to keep my head up and join forces with my family and do whatever I need to help my team to make sure I come back stronger as soon as possible,’ the injured midfielder, who will miss the World Cup, said on Instagram two weeks ago.

“Nothing will stand in the way of my professional advancement, and I have high ambitions to demonstrate my abilities on the field.

I will still support my Liverpool teammates and my beloved Brazil national team in the meantime.
