Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss the second leg of Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final with Arsenal on Thursday as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained during the weekend win over Brentford.
While initial diagnosis on the issue is positive, the midfielder is ruled out of the visit to his former club as the Reds look to book a Wembley date with Chelsea following last week’s goalless draw at Anfield.
Oxlade-Chamberlain could, however, be back in contention for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Crystal Palace.
“I spoke [on Tuesday] with him and he thinks it’s not that bad,” assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders said at the pre-match press conference.
