The England and Liverpool star will walk a long road to recovery for most of the 2018-19 Premier League season
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss the "vast majority" of the forthcoming season as the Liverpool midfielder focuses on rehabilitation from a serious knee injury.
The 24-year-old sustained multiple ligament damage during the first leg of the Reds' Champions League semi-final triumph over Roma in April.
Oxlade-Chamberlain was set to play a key role in the final weeks of Liverpool's campaign, which concluded with defeat in the final of the same competition, and England's trip to the 2018 World Cup.
