Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Nears Return as Liverpool Plan Midfielder's First Game Back

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set for his first game in almost a year, with the midfielder scheduled to play some part in Liverpool Under-23s clash on Friday.

The attacking midfielder has been out of action since last April, when he suffered a serious knee injury in the Champions League semi-final against Roma, and had been expected to miss almost all of the 2018/19 campaign.

However, after returning to training with the first team squad in recent weeks, Oxlade-Chamberlain has now been given the 'all clear' to return to playing, as reported by the Mirror's David Maddock.
