Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp tells Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain not to worry about bench role

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reassured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain he has not made a mistake in coming to Anfield.

The 24-year-old left Arsenal in a £35million deal on deadline day but has so far been restricted to just 57 minutes in three substitute appearances, having previously started all four matches for the Gunners and also two for the national team.

However, the England international has been given the time to adjust to his new surroundings and Klopp's methods and will make his first start at Leicester in the Carabao Cup.
