Photo: £40m player spotted in Liverpool training, Klopp says he's 'now ready'

 

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was among those spotted in Liverpool training this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp put his troops through their paces ahead of Sunday’s visit to Tottenham in the Premier League.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has endured an injury-hit start to the campaign, only managing a 14-minute cameo appearance in the defeat at Nottingham Forest last month.

In midweek, Klopp revealed that the 29-year-old – a £40 million signing in 2017 [Guardian] – is ‘now ready’ to start playing a lot more Premier League football.

Here’s some images of the former Arsenal player at Kirkby today:

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s return to action comes at an ideal time for a Liverpool side struggling for consistency and stability.

Klopp’s midfield options have been inconsistent all season long and with Curtis Jones also back again, well the England international being fit too should, in theory, help out the Reds somewhat considerably.

It’s no secret that Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn’t been at his best for Liverpool for a number of years now.

But he’ll be desperate to make up for lost time and in terms of talent, well there’s just no doubting someone of the former Southampton product’s ability.
