Liverpool legend John Barnes has said that the returning Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be like a new signing for the Reds, and could help spur the team over the line in the Premier League title race.
A horrific injury towards the tail end of last season kept the midfielder out of the Champions League final in Kiev, and was expected to keep him sidelined for pretty much all of the 2018/19 campaign.
Recently, however, he has stepped up his recovery, and could be poised for an ahead-of-schedule return to action in March, boosting the midfield options available to Jurgen Klopp as his side mounts a Premier League title offence.
