Alex Oxlade Chamberlain aka "The Ox"

[Liverpool]

It'll be a big blow if he is out for the season

at this stage i'd take him being back for the start of next season

[labourRed]

It didn't look like ACL at least, but it did look bad enough for it to be a month or to which would be the case from a hyperextended or MCL. Can only speculate but i'd be surprised if he came back this season. 26th May is a month away, CL final.

[Angryred]

Yeah, either way we can all agree that's him done for this season anyway!

[Alex]

Gutted for him as he has turned into a pretty important player for us. Totally looks worth the money we paid too.

The Arsenal fans I know are gutted

Poor fella could potentially miss a champs league final and the World Cup. He must be devastated.

I really rate him, I think him and Keita together in midfield could be a nightmare for teams.

One of the LFC fan twitter accounts saying ACL- 9 months

I'll take the latter one thank you.

[labourRed]

Aye, I hope it's the latter one. It didn't really look like an ACL to me but I'll wait until a club statement after seeing a scan. I've no idea about the AE crowd or who is behind it.

[cream]

Nine months is terrible news, will miss most of next season. Just as he was starting show form.

On a side note, how good was Gini when he came on for Ox, thought he had a superb game.

[Norbs]

Yeah, sounds like he could be out until the new year which means we have to go shopping in the summer. He'd cemented his place in the starting line up IMO, poor cunt

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain injury latest

Liverpool FC can confirm Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's 2017-18 season is over for both club and country due to a knee ligament injury sustained against AS Roma on Tuesday evening.

The midfielder was forced from the field after 18 minutes of the Reds’ 5-2 victory in the Champions League semi-final first leg at Anfield after picking up the issue during an attempted challenge.

The extent of the injury means Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to miss the remainder of the campaign for Liverpool, as well as the World Cup finals in Russia with England.

The 24-year-old was assessed by the club’s medical team at Melwood on Wednesday morning and no specific timescale is being placed upon his return to action at this stage.

However, Oxlade-Chamberlain will now begin a rehabilitation programme to enable him to reach full fitness again as soon as possible, returning to action next season.
