Oxlade-Chamberlain is expected to miss the vast majority of the 2018-19 season as he recovers from the multiple ligament damage he sustained during the first leg of the Champions League semi-final with AS Roma last term.
When he does return to action, the midfielder will be welcomed back as the same ‘massive, massive player’ he had become for the Reds before the setback, according to Henderson.
“It’s very difficult for Ox. The great performances he was putting in before he got injured made it one of the best periods of his career so far. So to get injured for such a long time is hard to take,” said the captain in the latest edition of the official Liverpool FC magazine.
