Liverpool's Oxlade-Chamberlain thanks Klopp for help during injury

After moving to Anfield at the beginning of last season, the former Arsenal man seemed to be playing the best football of his career and was preparing to go to the World Cup with England.

However, a knee ligament injury in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Roma put an end to his season and his hopes of going to Russia, and is still recovering.

Speaking about his rehab over the recent months, the midfielder praised the words of Jurgen Klopp: "He has been massive for me. Whenever I see him he has always got a smile on his face and is really positive. 

"He keeps me in his thoughts; when he talks about the team he'll mention me, which is obviously really nice, especially when the boys are doing so well. 

"The important thing is he has given me time and said: 'We know how long this is going to be, don't worry about it, it's not a problem – get yourself right and then we'll go again.' It's really nice to hear."
