Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on Sky Sports Premier League (10:32pm, March 15, 2021) for his performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday evening.
Klopp said that the former Arsenal midfielder played well after coming on as a substitute in the Premier League game at the Molineux Stadium.
The 27-year-old England international came on for Diogo Jota in the 82nd minute, as the defending English champions won 1-0.
Klopp said about Oxlade-Chamberlain on Sky Sports Premier League (10:32pm, March 15, 2021): “Ox came on and was a real breath of fresh air. He was brilliant when he came on, especially in that position.”
How did Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain play against Wolverhampton Wanderers?
Oxlade-Chamberlain has become an essentially a squad player at Liverpool and is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.
The England international was deployed as a false 9, and the former Arsenal star did well in the role in the few minutes he had on the pitch.
According to WhoScored, the 27-year-old took one shot which was not on target, had a pass accuracy of 100%, took 10 touches, and made one tackle.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has actually been linked with a move away from Anfield, with The Sunday World reporting on Sunday that the Reds are willing to listen to offers for him.
Klopp’s comments after the game on Monday evening suggest that he rates the England international, and perhaps the 27-year-old still has a future at Liverpool.
