Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has talked up the importance of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after their performances against Genk in the Champions League last week.
Oxlade-Chamberlain scored twice against the Belgian champions, the first a rifled effort from long range and the second a one-touch wonder off the outside of his right boot. Keita, meanwhile, was influential in the middle of the park as Jurgen Klopp's side roared to a 4-1 win.
Oxlade-Chamberlain had to work his way back from a serious knee injury last season which kept him out for the majority of the campaign, while Keita also had his progress disrupted by a series of scrapes and knocks.
