    EPL: Liverpool hit by injury ahead of Arsenal clash

    Liverpool midfielder, Arthur Melo has been ruled out for few months after suffering an injury in training this week.

    Melo underwent a surgery in London on Saturday.

    The Brazilian will not be in action until the new year and will also rule him out of the World Cup coming up in Qatar.

    The Central Midfielder  has played  just 13 minutes for the Reds since joining on a season-long loan from Juventus on transfer deadline day.

    Arthur is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League, as his only appearance came as a substitute in the 4-1 Champions League defeat to Napoli last month.

    Liverpool is paying a loan fee of €4.5 million and has the option to make the transfer permanent for a fee of €37.5m.

    Liverpool’s midfield woes continues with Melo ruled out for three months.

    Recall that most Liverpool midfielders are on the injury list of the clubside.

    Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo is ready to join Arsenal next week.

    Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is a big fan of the 25-year-old, and has been keeping tabs on him over the last few seasons.

    The Sun says Juventus are happy for the Brazilian to leave, but want to sign a replacement first.

    He is ready to fly in next week and sign until the summer if the move is given the go ahead.

    There has already been talks over the loan between the two clubs and the ex-Barcelona star’s agent. Arsenal’s need for a new midfield addition has become more acute this week.

    Arteta will be without Granit Xhaka for the next three games after his reckless red card at Liverpool on Thursday night.
