This is very good news. We desperately need him back.

newterp · « **Reply #2681 on:** March 9, 2019, 01:13:25 am »

Wait - is he injured or was it just a precaution?

Doesn't matter whether it's a trot, a light jog, a medium paced jog or a sprint playing in a game is always more intense than training.

He would have been under no orders to not over do it, elite sport doesn't work like that and return from injury doesn't work like that either.

I presume it's common that players bare some psychological scarring after significant lengths of time out or when injuries are of a recurring nature.

He has a patella tendon on the opposite leg too

So they took a part of the tendon from the 'good' leg to help repair the 'bad' knee, Welsh? How does that avoid scarring and damage to the tendon from which the graft is taken?

It doesn't but it reduces trauma to an already injured knee. They didn't do that with Ox though, I just know that the person who operated on him has sometimes done that.

Yep. Psychological status is a huge factor in return to training and return to play

Better not expect him to take any vital part this season.

penwhen · « **Reply #2687 on:** March 9, 2019, 02:20:37 pm »

James Pearce says the club is reiterating that withdrawing Ox early yesterday was purely precautionary to prevent a setback and they will be arranging friendlies in the coming weeks to get him up to speed.

I just hope we don't rely on Ox the way we did with Lallana in the UCL final last year.
Talking about Lallana, I'd be very disappointed if we're still counting on him next season. He's contributed very little to goal creation for like 2 years. I think he provided one pass before an assist and that's the best he's done in all this time.

Some of those passes 😍 if he reinvents himself as a deep lying playmaker later in his career I wouldn't be surprised

Lallana needs to go back to Southampton and ends his career there. I dont think playing him once every month will help hime in his career.

Ox is a really smart footballer so even (hopefully not) if he has lost some of his pace, he will still be a very good player.

He looked better than i expected. Wasn't afraid to go into challenges, sprayed some nice passes and didn't look short of confidence.

The fitness will obviously come with game time

It like read like a dig at Henderson, as the narrative is that he only passes sideways so apologies if that's not what you meant.

Think I remember reading after the International break he would be available for first team selection. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench V Spurs or if not Southampton might be more likely.

More importantly I've decided a song.

To Solsbury Hill

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Nicks the ball and bangs them in
When he scores the kop all sing
For Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

He plays for Liverpool, Liverpool la la la,
Liverpool Liverpool la la la ...

stockdam · « **Reply #2703 on:** March 25, 2019, 12:13:14 pm »

I don't expect to see him back unless we are 3 or 4 up and he comes on for 20 minutes or so. He needs time to get back up to speed and it's such a pity that he has missed most of the season.

Too early for flapjacks? · « **Reply #2704 on:** March 25, 2019, 03:33:36 pm »

Anyone who watched his 40 mins against Debry U23 will know that he's unlikely to be involved against Spurs. Looked some way off and will need more game time at that level and training before being on the bench. I think Klopp meant 100% back from the hamstring issue he picked up and in training by the time the international break is over. My guess is we'll be way into April before we see him on the bench.

Ciara (with a capital "C") · « **Reply #2705 on:** March 25, 2019, 03:48:42 pm »

I thought he meant back in full training with an eye on bringing him into some match day squads if he suffers no reaction in training.

Belter that mate. Do love the Liverpool chant we have to that already.

Big fan of the Enola Gay song for Ox too, that needs to make it’s way out of the pub and into the ground.

Silver lining is that at least it wasn't bumped because there was a setback in his recovery!

The good news with Ox is he can keep training and be ready for next year without missing time. If he can get a couple of sub appearances before the end of the season, that will be a bonus.

With all the remaining games being high stakes, I guess Klopp wouldn't be taking any risk.

So it would be Hendo-Gini-Milner-Fab for the remaining of the games. Which is a shame because only the pace of Ox could break ranks.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #2717 on:** April 8, 2019, 10:26:31 pm »

He might get a cameo against Huddersfield if the game is won. Gives him another three weeks to prepare.

I personally think both Ox and Naby are pencilled in for regular /substantial starts for next season
