Liverpool receive massive injury boost with star’s return to training

Jordan Henderson says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s return to training is a boost for the Liverpool squad.

The Englishman has been out injured for 8 months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the semi-final of the Champions League against Roma.

His absence was a huge blow for the Reds as he was missed in Rome for the second leg and in Kiev for the final where Liverpool lacked driving force from deep areas.

“It was obviously a massive moment for everyone but [especially] for him to be back from a bad injury. He has been out for a while now and I’m sure he’s been thinking about that moment for a long time,” Henderson told Liverpoolfc.com.

“It was great to have him back. He is a great character around the lads and he is obviously a fantastic player, so to have him back within the squad was a big plus for us.

“Hopefully over the next few weeks he can keep progressing and build his fitness up. Who knows, hopefully he can get some minutes before the end of the season – that would be a huge boost for the team.”
