Jurgen Klopp is dealt a fresh injury blow as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sweats on scan results after hobbling off with an ankle problem while covering absent Mo Salah during win over Brentford

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain faces an anxious wait to discover the severity of the injury that cast a shadow over what Jurgen Klopp called a very good day for Liverpool.

The midfielder, who scored the crucial second goal in his side's 3-0 win, played in the position that usually belongs to Mo Salah, high up on the right, and proved an able deputy with a polished performance.

But Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose Anfield career has been punctured by a series of fitness issues, was forced off six minutes after scoring having rolled his ankle.
