Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ruled out of the World Cup after suffering knee ligament damage

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been ruled out of the World Cup after sustaining knee ligament damage during Liverpool's Champions League victory over Roma on Tuesday night.

Jugren Klopp's men delivered a ruthless performance to thrash the Serie A side 5-2 at Anfield.

But, in what was argubaly the only sour point on the pitch for the Reds, the former Arsenal man was stretchered off early in the first half after a strong challenge on Aleksandar Kolarov left him writhing in agony.

It has now been revealed the midfielder will miss the World Cup in Russia, which starts in June.
