Jurgen Klopp revealed ahead of Liverpool's Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Saturday that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could return to action by the time of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in April.
The English midfielder has been sidelined with aknee injury since Liverpool's semi-final first leg against Roma last April, and Klopp previously said it would be "a bonus" if he played at all in 2018-19.
Liverpool first need to get past Bayern Munich in the last 16 if they are even going to make the Champions League quarter-finals again.
But Klopp indicated Oxlade-Chamberlain may well return for the final months of the campaign:
