Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp is fearful that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered “a really bad injury” during Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg with Roma at Anfield.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was involved in a challenge with Roma’s Aleksandar Kolarov and underwent lengthy treatment on the pitch before being carried back to the dressing room on a stretcher, and Georginio Wijnaldum came on in his place.

Roma was able to cut Liverpool’s 5-0 lead to a three-goal deficit late on, but Klopp said after the game that Oxlade-Chamberlain’s injury was the biggest “blow for the mood in the dressing room.”

“Oxlade-Chamberlain is probably a really bad injury,” Klopp said. “That is bad news for us. The squad doesn’t get bigger at the moment so we need to be creative in the next few games.”

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s involvement for England at the 2018 World Cup could also now be in doubt.


The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for Liverpool in recent weeks, and has managed two goals in his seven Champions League appearances for the Reds this term.
