Liverpool have had their first real difficult period in this Premier League season with injuries being picked up and points dropped over the last couple of weeks.
Manager Jurgen Klopp, however, could be about to be handed a huge boost with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain recovering well from their injury setbacks, something which the English right-back has recently been talking about.
The Breakdown
“The pair [Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster] of them are a credit to themselves,” Alexander-Arnold was quoted saying by the Daily Mirror when speaking about the long-term injuries his two team-mates, who are with the first team in a warm-weather camp in Marbella, have had to overcome.
“They epitomise the spirit around the team and the club, that it’s going to be very difficult to break that spirit and that they’ll bounce back whenever there are setbacks.”
The 20-year-old also spoke about his return to first-team action following his own injury, explaining how good it felt to get back onto the pitch against Bournemouth in a hugely positive development for Klopp.
With Nathaniel Clyne leaving Anfield on loan for Liverpool’s recent opponents, the German has been without someone natural for that right-back position and it has shown to a certain extent.
But with Alexander-Arnold back in the frame again, that should be one less problem for Klopp to worry about, while any potential return of Oxlade-Chamberlain could also prove to be massive in the Premier League title race if he can perform like how he did in the Champions League last season.
