Arthur Melo's agent Federico Pastorello has defended the Liverpool misfit after an injury-hit first season, claiming the Brazilian has been "unlucky".
Former Barcelona star Arthur joined on loan from Juventus over the summer after injuries to a number of Liverpool midfielders, and made his debut from the bench in a Champions League defeat against Napoli in September. He has yet to add to that sole senior appearance, though, after an injury sustained in training left him needing surgery.
The 26-year-old returned to Liverpool's bench in March, and was an unused substitute for the league defeat at Bournemouth. He has yet to make it onto a Premier League pitch, but Pastorello has come to his client's defence.
