Adam Lallana has expressed his sympathy for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and said ‘it has been a tough few months’ for the Liverpool midfielder.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has barely featured during the second half of the season, failing to make the bench for the FA Cup final last Saturday and also for six of Liverpool's previous seven Premier League games. He returned to the matchday squad for Tuesday’s win at his former club Southampton when key men were rested.
However, he wasn't required by Jurgen Klopp, meaning his last appearance in the league came back in the 3-1 victory at home to Norwich City on February 19. After the Southampton game, Reds boss Klopp hailed Oxlade-Chamberlain, saying he is in ‘outstanding shape’ and that he was annoyed at himself for not giving the 28-year-old England international more game time.
