Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Oxlade-Chamberlain was suffering from ankle ligament damage and would not be able to play in Liverpool’s upcoming festive games going on to explain:
“The ankle [is] what we probably expected; you have three ligaments on the outside of the ankle, one of them is damaged.”
“Now we have to see how quickly we can fix that. I don’t know exactly. I had that injury myself, but it was years ago and it can take a while or can be quick, we have to see.”
“No chance for Thursday and no chance for this year; Oxlade will not play anymore [in 2019] that’s clear.”
