Jurgen Klopp is counting on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be part of Liverpool’s future after admitting the midfielder has been a victim of circumstance this season.
It has been a campaign to forget for many of Liverpool’s players but the frustrations have been more acute for Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose last start was in the Premier League on January 21 and who has been limited to just 274 minutes of playing time.
Oxlade-Chamberlain required surgery last summer after he damaged his medial ligament during a freak incident during a training session in pre-season, which forced him to miss four months, and so few opportunities mean he will not be part of England’s squad for the European Championships.
