Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has to be patient with his return to regular football.

The England international made his first Premier League start for 16 months against Southampton on Saturday.

Former club Arsenal awaits next and Klopp is putting no pressure on the 26-year-old.

"He needs to be patient in the right way, and everything will be fine 100 per cent," Klopp said. "We only talk about Ox because everybody knows how good he is.

"We need to make sure that he can show that on the pitch as well. When I make the decision that he is now ready then it is my responsibility of course, and the boy only has to try to do his best. That's what Ox obviously did."
