Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain speaks out on injury theories and Liverpool playing time

Oxlade-Chamberlain did not feature in the Reds' final 13 Premier League fixtures of the campaign, however, either left out of the squad or being kept on the bench.

The summer departures of Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino and injuries to Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino have freed up opportunities for the former Arsenal man in the top-flight this term, having started each of the previous four fixtures.
