Topic: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[blacksun]

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

I think he may get at least a couple more starts this year, Newcastle and Huddersfield would be my guess. Maybe Porto away if we can get a decent margin between us tomorrow.

[Redcap]

I reckon Naby will start quite a few more games this season.

Porto home, Cardiff away, Newcastle away, Huddersfield home and possibly Wolves home.

Ox will probably get a few minutes run out if we're 3+ goals up in the second half against Huddersfield.

Porto away is next week, there's zero chance Ox starts that.

Think he was talking about Naby

[Lush is the best medicine...]

if we get a good win hopefully he may get 15 at the end

Tell you why you don’t want that to happen in one word:

Pepe

According to Neil Jones, Ox participated in a closed door game yesterday against Bury, playing for an hour without incident.

I was

[AmanShah21]

I wouldn't be surprised if Naby starts most games unless he needs a rest. He's definitely our most creative midfielder at the moment who plays higher up the field and is good between the lines. Given he started the last two, he might be rested against Chelsea, but I think he'll start Porto away and every single one of the remaining league games.

[niallers]

Him, Gomez and Brewster apparently participated in the full session yesterday also, or this morning.

I have been keeping an eye on this thread and the injuries update thread but am a little lost as to the current situation with AOC being available for first team selection anytime soon. What is the latest news on him perhaps being on the bench in the next week or two ?

[duvva 💅]

At the moment with an almost fully fit squad I’d imagine it’s doubtful we see him in the next few squad but it doesn’t sound like he’s far away now he’s playing in practice matches.

Realistically probably next season for him now. Having been out for that long I can’t see him coming back before the end of the season.   If we have the league won before we play Wolves I could see him getting a few minutes on the pitch but other than that, get a good pre-season behind him and be back for August.

[CraigDS]

I personally wouldn’t mind betting we’d see him on the bench for at least one game, and potentially get a few mins if the result is in the bag, if for no other reason than to give him a bit of a moral boost for all the hard work he’s put in to get back.

I know not entirely relevant to the thread but fucking hell lovren hasn't had the best luck with injuries this year has he.

Thanks for the updates everyone.

Craig - I am hoping that this can happen. It would be a big boost to everyone even though we are all already riding on a high. It will also keep players on their toes !

[gjr1]

Welcome back lad...

Willing him to score but not quite

[MNAA]

Welcome back Oxlade-Chamberlain! How we missed those forward runs ... a thing of beauty

[deFacto please, you bastards]

ONe of the greatest moments this season.

[jillcwhomever]

Great to see him back and he looked sharp. 

[JackWard33]

Back just in time the medal thief

[RedG13]

Back just in time the medal thief

He is not eligible to get a PL medal.
Was great to see him back

[JackWard33]

He is not eligible to get a PL medal.

You are not eligible for my parties

[RedSince86]

He looked sharp.

Unlucky not to score either.

Our midfield options are brilliant for the rest of the season and next season with Hendo back as a 8, Fabinho, Keita , Milner , Gini and Ox.

[ToneLa]

Wow, he came back looking like he's never been away!

Snatching at goals too. Man, the hunger... if Oxlade hungers, watch out!

[LFC when it suits]

what a moment and you can see what we have missed from him just form his short time on the pitch. Really hope he returns to his best because the injury he suffered was horrendous.

[Ultimate Bromance]

Welcome back lad, take it easy

[Zeb]

Klopp saying that there's going to be odd appearances for him as he gets back up to speed. Good to see him back on the pitch.

[robgomm]

When he got injured last season it felt like it took a little bit out of us because it was so serious an injury. This season he's given us a massive lift just coming back onto the pitch. I'm so pleased for him.

[Felch Aid]

Looked very sharp when he came on.

[Zeb]

Ah sorry didn't realise it didn't show for everyone. Will stop being so lazy in future.

[GreatEx]

He is not eligible to get a PL medal.

Well that's just mean!

[DelTrotter]

I know it was a trash team who’d quit by then but he looked really good and most importantly very quick! So happy for him.

[PaulF]

ONe of the greatest moments this season.

Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, but totally agree with you. He seems a really sound bloke, and to suffer like that must be horrible.

[acks]

Watching him play a give and go with someone and then sprinting in behind the Huddersfield defense was really encouraging, it doesn't look like he's lost any of that speed.

[SteveLFC]

Great win tonight, great performance from all but the biggest highlight for me was seeing the Ox playing again and importantly, looking good and sharp. So happy for the lad, he will be like a new signing next season.

[Kekule]

Klopp loves him. Speaking about him in glowing terms on Sky, massive grin on his face as he does so.  Saying what a wonderful person he is, an even better person than he is footballer...and he is a wonderful footballer. Gushing it is! 

He’s spot on.

[jillcwhomever]

Well that's just mean!

I think I read the club can ask for some extra ones.

[Wool]

He looked really sharp! So chuffed to see him back
