Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been filmed training with the first team in Dubai ahead of his long-awaited return from a cruciate ligament rupture sustained in April last year.
The midfielder suffered the injury during Liverpool's Champions League semi-final first leg victory against AS Roma, ruling him out of the club's eventual final appearance and England's World Cup squad.
After over 300 days on the sidelines, the £35m Arsenal signing appears to be edging closer to a comeback and was seen kicking a ball as part of warm-weather training in Dubai, alongside fellow Liverpool absentees Dejan Lovren and Ben Woodburn.
Prior to Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Crystal Palace, Jurgen Klopp provided a fitness update on the 25-year-old, stating the England international could feature before the season's end.
“When I see him running or on the ball, it looks good, so promising, closer, close to a return,” Klopp said, as quoted by the Daily Mirror.
“But after so long out….No problems, no swellings, he can work on his fitness issues.
