Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo started for the U21s side following his injury which has kept him out since September.
Arthur signed on loan from Juventus during the summer transfer window at the beginning of the season.
The Brazilian was brought in as a bit of a panic buy towards the end of the window with Liverpool failing to strengthen in midfield.
Shortly after signing for the club, Arthur suffered an injury which has kept him out since September, but he’s now returned to action playing for Liverpool U21s, as seen below.

Arthur is a bit of a forgotten man at Liverpool and could be vital over the next few months. Liverpool’s midfield have struggled so far this season with many fans calling for a major reshuffle in the summer transfer window.
Whilst Arthur may not be the long term answer, he could provide Liverpool with an experienced option in midfield for the rest of the season, if he manages to prove his fitness over the next few weeks.
Liverpool fans – would you be looking to implement Arthur into the starting eleven before the end of the season?
