Former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has earned minutes for Arsenal in a behind-closed-doors friendly. Since then, Oxlade-Chamberlain has returned to England, training with former club Arsenal, for who he made 198 appearances between 2011 and 2017, prior to joining Liverpool for £35 million.

It’s worth stressing that Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn’t signed for Arsenal, though, and isn’t expected to at this point in his career. “The whole injury misconception thing has haunted me for years,” Oxlade-Chamberlain he told the Fozcast podcast.

At that point [in 2018] I was really doing well, so when I got the injury it was a bigger story.” Oxlade-Chamberlain has always been a likeable player, so it would be nice to see him find a new club, with a promotion-chasing Championship outfit a good option for him. Oxlade-Chamberlain’s best days may be behind him, but he has the versatility and quality to be an asset for someone, especially as he is hungry to rebuild his career.
