Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in Contention for Liverpool U23s Everton Clash on Monday

Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to step up his recovery from injury on Monday, as he's poised to be involved when the Reds' Under-23 side take on Everton.

The England international has been sidelined for 11 months after rupturing his knee ligaments in April 2018, although according to James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo, it may not be long until he's back in action.

"Jurgen Klopp is keen for Oxlade-Chamberlain to get some game time under his belt for Neil Critchley's side in order to build up his match fitness before considering him for a first-team comeback," Pearce noted.
