Liverpool midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain: I can't tell you how good it feels to be back

Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was thrilled to be back for their 5-0 thrashing of Huddersfield.

A year and two days after sustaining a serious knee injury during the Champions League semi-final, first leg against AS Roma, the midfielder made his comeback as a second-half substitute in the Reds' 5-0 win.

Oxlade-Chamberlain received a standing ovation when he entered the action in the 73rd minute - and following the game, he expressed his delight at being back by posting the below on his official Instagram account.

He stated: "367 days later...I can't tell you how good it feels to be back.

"Thank-you to everyone who helped to get me back on the pitch, all of the staff at the club and my teammates too. Also a big thankyou to you, the fans, for supporting me in some of my darkest times as a player. The reception I got tonight is something I'll remember for life. Thank you."
