Milner: Ox and Gomez returns will be a big boost

Klopp provided positive updates on Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gomez’s fitness on Tuesday, with the former expected to resume full training next week and the latter now working on his conditioning ahead of his comeback.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, of course, has not featured at all in 2018-19 due to a serious knee injury, and the midfielder then suffered a minor muscular problem during a run-out for the Reds’ U23s before the international break.

Defender Gomez, meanwhile, has been unavailable since early December due to a lower-leg fracture.

However, both are getting closer to being back in contention - something that pleases Milner with Liverpool heading into a run-in that will define their season both domestically and in Europe.
