Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fitness update

Liverpool will assess the muscle issue Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain felt during his 40-minute appearance for the U23s on Friday afternoon.

The midfielder made his comeback from a long-term knee injury in the 3-1 victory for Neil Critchley’s side at Derby County.

Having started the Premier League 2 encounter, Oxlade-Chamberlain was taken off five minutes before half-time as a precautionary measure.

“He obviously had a bit of an issue but hopefully it’s nothing major,” said Critchley. “The bonus for him is that it’s not his knee, so he’s delighted there are no problems with that.
