Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain targeting run of Liverpool games

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is targeting a run of games with Liverpool.

The 26-year-old has had to watch from afar since suffering a horrendous knee injury in April 2018, but his return to full fitness warranted a recall to Gareth Southgate's England side.

And he is now targeting a run of games for the Reds.

"I feel like I can really perform at a good level at the minute," Oxlade-Chamberlain told Premier League Productions.

"The one thing I haven't done is string matches together. I haven't had that chance yet so that's sort of the next step for me, to play and recover and be able to play and play again all in the same week and keep going from strength to strength. That's the one thing I haven't really ticked off, but I feel like I'm in a position to do that.

"I feel good, I feel strong, I've been training since the back end of last season and playing so I'm not short of those technical things you get with playing a lot.

"So it'll be more the physical (aspect): being able to play and keep playing, because to play at the level is one thing but to churn three of them a week at this level is what the body has to get used to.

"That's the next thing, but where I'm at right now I feel confident to be able to get out there and do what I do."
