Liverpool have one foot in the Champions League semi-finals after an emphatic 5-2 victory over Roma at Anfield but the Reds also suffered a major loss in the victory.
England international Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was stretched off early in the first-half, with the score still goalless, and he’s set to miss the remainder of the season- and could also be forced to miss out on the Three Lions World Cup campaign.
Issuing an update on Oxlade-Chamberlain’s injury, Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport after the game:
“Oxlade, it’s probably a really bad injury. If we can say that already before the scan, that’s never good news so that means for us it’s a massive blow, of course. ”
“We have still a few very important games to go and the squad doesn’t get bigger in the moment, so we obviously need to be creative in the next few games.”
The 24-year-old has made 42 appearances for Liverpool since signing from Arsenal last summer, scoring five goals.
