Liverpool FC have confirmed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's 2017-18 season is over for both club and country. This was after the midfielder picked up a knee ligament injury sustained against AS Roma on Tuesday evening.
The former Arsenal player 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.
This sad news means Chamberlain will miss the remainder of Liverpool campaign, as well as the World Cup in Russia with England.
The official statement from Liverpool reads: "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."
