Arthur Melo 'hires his own personal fitness team' after Jurgen Klopp insists he must 'be careful' with the injury-prone midfielder... as Liverpool's summer arrival 'employs a fitness coach, nutritionist and physiotherapist to join him at Anfield'

Liverpool summer arrival Arthur Melo has employed his own fitness team to ensure a speedy start under Jurgen Klopp, according to reports.

The Brazil and Juventus midfielder, who is on loan at Anfield until next summer following his arrival on deadline day, came on as a substitute during the Reds' 4-1 defeat by Napoli in the Champions League earlier this month.

Despite handing Arthur his debut fairly swiftly — less than a week after he completed his switch to Merseyside — Jurgen Klopp decided not to use the playmaker against Ajax the following week.
