Liverpool has received a major boost after their injured midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain revealed that he has started kicking the ball for the first time in four months which it is a significant boost on his journey to recovery.
The English international got injured in last season UEFA Champions League Semifinal game against Italian giants AS Roma in April.
The Englishman tries to challenge AS Roma fullback Aleksandar Kolarov for the ball but he ruptured his ligament in the act which shattered his Champions League hopes and World Cup dream last season.
The former Arsenal midfielder is still expected to miss the entirety of this season in order to gain full fitness but he confirms that he his in good spirits especially after such a significant achievement on his road to recovery.
“It’s going well – very boring, very slow, very long, all the good stuff! But I’m making progress, which is obviously what we need. It’s just a long process and I just keep plugging away, but I’m in good spirits and I’m really positive about it.
“You just get into a routine [with] tunnel vision and keep going, setting yourself little goals and little things to achieve.
“I passed the ball the other day, not very well, but I started passing the ball and that was massive for me to be able to kick and know that my knee can kick a ball.
“Even though it was five yards, I’ve started working on stuff like that and it’s little wins like that that keep you going and keep you pushing forward to the next one.”
Even without Alex Oxlade Chamberlain this season, Liverpool have started the season wonderfully well with five wins in the English Premier League which make them the second on the table because of goal difference and a win over French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League to seal a perfect start of the season for the Reds.
