Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain takes major step towards Liverpool first-team return

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is getting closer to making his Liverpool first-team return after playing in a behind closed doors friendly at Melwood on Tuesday. The midfielder was stretchered off in the Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma last April and since that he has been fighting to be fit for playing again. The 25-year-old made his comeback for Liverpool Under-23s against Derby County on March 8 but was substituted after 40 minutes due to discomfort in his hamstring. That issue has since cleared up and weeks later Oxlade-Chamberlain was given the green light to get more game time.
