From the moment the deal was made official, there was no one who did not look at Arthur’s arrival in Liverpool with a huge question mark on their mind. The Brazilian came in to bolster the Reds’ injury-riddled midfield and instead – he bolstered the hospital at Anfield. As could be assumed from the very start, the transfer turned out to be a complete failure, because the Juventus footballer is off for a long break.British Athletic writes that Arthur will undergo an operation this weekend that will keep him out of action for three to four months, which will minimize, if any, the chances of Liverpool buying him from Juventus at the end of the season.##NAJAVA_MECA_6706197##Jurgen Klopp revealed at his pre-Arsenal conference on Friday that Arthur was not in the squad for Tuesday’s Champions League game with Rangers after picking up an injury the day before.
