# Liverpool fans react as Oxlade-Chamberlain handed start against Newcastle

Liverpool fans are loving the return of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to the lineup, with Klopp selecting the midfielder to play Newcastle United.

The ex-Arsenal man has had trouble with injuries since making the move to Anfield, but has managed to regain his fitness ahead of this campaign.

Chamberlain played for England last week, and will now want to show what he can do in the Premier League for the Reds.

His inclusion has gone down well with a lot of the Liverpool faithful on Twitter.

Darren is loving the fact that Oxlade-Chamberlain has returned, but is worried about Roberto Firmino not being included.

Hassan is expecting a brilliant game from the midfielder.

@FTLiverpoolfc reckons Firmino’s absence is because the Reds have a game Tuesday.

> Twitter: @LFC @NUFC Remember everyone we have a game Tuesday so that’s probably why Origi is starting (@FTLiverpoolfc)

Joe reckons it’s great to see Chamberlain return after so long away from the starting XI.
