Liverpool FC news: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain forced off with nasty looking knee injury to put World Cup place in jeopardy

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks doubtful for the World Cup after writhing in agony on the pitch with what seemed to be a suspected knee injury.

The England star went in for a sliding challenge on Roma star Aleksandar Kolarov in the first half of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final at Anfield.

Despite winning the ball, the former Arsenal man was seen immediately holding his right knee and was clearly in considerable amounts of pain.

The midfielder was taken off on a stretcher to a standing ovation from the adoring crowd, and Giorginio Wijnaldum was brought on in his place.
