READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Oxlade-Chamberlain has suffered injury after injury at Liverpool and it is becoming rather worrying for the England international. He cannot seem to stay fit for a decent spell of games, yet plays well when he does get on the pitch.
It is a tricky situation for the club and the player. There is no doubting Oxlade-Chamberlain’s quality for Liverpool, but he is not able to be consistent enough due to his injury issues. The club may need to consider his future if he continues to pick up constant injuries.
