Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will get the chance to make up for the year he's missed due to injury, with Liverpool set to hand him a 12-month contract extension.
The England midfielder returned from a year on the sidelines on Friday night, coming off the bench in a 5-0 win over Huddersfield which kept the pressure on Manchester City before their tight victory at Burnley on Sunday afternoon.
The Mirror report that Oxlade-Chamberlain will be given an extension to take his contract to 2023, making up for a 2018/19 season lost almost in its entirety to a serious knee injury suffered against Roma last April.
The midfielder's return will boost a Liverpool side who have a hectic end to a busy season coming up, with at least four all-or-nothing games against Newcastle, Wolves and Barcelona (twice) in the next fortnight.
The Newcastle and Wolves games are must-win fixtures if the Reds are to have any hope of overtaking Manchester City in the Premier League title race, while two Champions League semi-final matches against already-crowned Spanish champions Barça could help put the polish on a fantastic season on Merseyside.
With games coming thick and fast, the 'new signing-ish' impact of Oxlade-Chamberlain's return could be crucial in Jurgen Klopp's side keeping their heads up.
