Can you imagine if, during his time at Barcelona, Arthur Melo would have played for Barça B? Well, that is what has happened with Liverpool. However, it is not as alarming as the headlines suggest.

Per Sky Sports, Liverpool have opted to drop Arthur down to the U21 team because the Brazilian joined the club slightly out of shape.

It seems he's not in the best moment of form -- there have even been rumours coach Jurgen Klopp wants to end his loan from Juve early, but the German is keen to help him recover his best football.

 

Therefore, he started for Liverpool's U21 team on Wednesday in the Football League Trophy against Rochdale, a game which the Reds lost 1-0.
