Liverpool face Arsenal this Thursday, at 16:45 (GMT), and will not be able to count on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the field due to an ankle injury. The duel is valid for the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final.
According to the statement released by the club, the Medical Department continues to evaluate the player and hopes that he will recover in the short term.
Number 15 was forced out in the second half of the Premier League victory against Brentford. Assistant coach Pepijn Lijnders said the player “lives for a moment and it’s a shame he got hurt”.
“I spoke to him yesterday and he thinks it’s not that bad [a lesão]. We have to evaluate it day by day. I wouldn’t rule out that he could play over the weekend, but I’m sure not tomorrow,” Lijnders said.
In the first game of the semi between Liverpool and Arsenal, the teams ended up tied at 0-0. The game, which had been postponed due to the outbreak of covid-19 in the Reds’ dressing room, took place at Anfield.
