Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be rewarded with a new Liverpool contract after overcoming his year-long injury hell.

Just days after making his return from a year on the sidelines with a serious knee injury, the England international will sign a 12 month extension on his existing £120,000-per-week deal.

The new deal will take Oxlade-Chamberlain up until 2023 and represents a strong show of faith from Liverpool after the England international spent just over a year on the treatment table.
