Jürgen Klopp fully understands why supporters were excited by footage of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain training earlier this week – but insists Liverpool will take ‘no risks’ as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.
A video clip appeared on social media of the midfielder doing ball work during the Reds' four-day camp in Dubai.
It sparked an overwhelming response from fans, who are eager to see Oxlade-Chamberlain back in action after his nine-month absence due to a long-term knee injury.
Such sentiments are shared by Klopp, who admits he - quite simply - ‘can’t wait’ to have the 25-year-old available.
