Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confirms Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on course to return to full training in February
Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is on course to return to full training at the end of February, Jurgen Klopp has revealed.The 25-year-old has missed the last eight months of action after he suffered a serious knee injury in the Champions League semi-final win against Roma.3

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered the injury in the Champions League semi-final against Roma on April 24

It had been feared he would miss the entire 2018/19 season after undergoing surgery, but he has made a quicker than expected recovery.The attacking midfielder posteda picture of himself running on grass at the club’s Melwood training ground earlier this week, and now Klopp has confirmed he is edging closer to joining in with his teammates.At his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s game against Arsenal – live on talkSPORT – Klopp said: “Best news. He started going on the pitch and looked normal. We had to wait for the reaction and there was none.“No pressure for him so late February/March for him to come back to training.3

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was in great form before suffering the injury

“If anyone from the medical department is listening to what I said, they’ll probably have a breakdown, but how it looks is really good.“Usually we are not that excited about something like this – a lot of things can happen after being out for that long a time – but it looks so positive.“It is a boost for the whole dressing room because he is such an important part of that. Even though he is only around and doesn’t train with us it is important.“He is ahead of schedule and that is always good news and now we hope not to push him too much, but not hold him back.“We don’t have to talk too much about his progress the next couple of weeks or probably two months, but if he makes further steps like he did in the last few weeks he can play Premier League football this season, which is nice to know.” Oxlade-Chamberlain moved to Liverpool from Arsenal in Auguest 2017 for a fee of around 35million.He had been playing some of the best football of his career before injury struck in April, and his return to action could prove timely for the Reds.Liverpool are leading the way in the Premier League – six points clear at the top – while they are also into the last 16 of the Champions League.With the FA Cup coming into play in the New Year, Klopp’s side could be battling on three fronts and will need a big squad to maintain a title challenge.3

Jurgen Klopp has led his side to the top of the table

Liverpool have been installed as the new favourites for Premier League glory after Manchester City surprisingly lost back-to-back matches, dropping them to third, seven points adrift.City, Chelsea and Arsenal are the only three teams Klopp’s side have not beaten so far this season, with the Gunners the last, on November 3, to take two points off them in the 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have only recently seen a 14-match unbeaten league run brought to an end and manager Unai Emery admitted Liverpool could match the club’s ‘Invincibles’ feat of 2003-04.“Was the question for Unai Emery, ‘Do you think Liverpool can go unbeaten?’ Is that a normal answer then?” said a dismissive Klopp.“That’s not how I know Unai Emery (taking pressure off his team). I don’t think that the white flag has been raised, it will be a tough game tomorrow night. They are good and that is all I am interested in.”
