Liverpool ace is working on a return.
Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is working on a return to action from a serious knee ligament injury.
Oxlade-Chamberlain began training with the first team earlier this month after months of rehabilitation.
Teammate Jordan Henderson has hailed Oxlade-Chamberlain’s progress and said that the midfielder has been impressive.
Henderson told Liverpool’s official website: “Ox has looked good in training and I’m sure over the next few weeks, as he builds fitness, the manager will keep a close eye on him because he is an important player, a fantastic player for this team.
“To have him back before the end of the season would be a massive boost.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain is a popular player among his teammates and his return will give the side a key lift.
He will be hoping to play a part in the club’s title challenge and win his first ever Premier League.
Liverpool paid £40 million to sign him last year, a figure which raised eyebrows.
The England midfielder showed real improvement under Jurgen Klopp, answering his critics, before cruel injury luck struck.
