Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed how his serious knee injury has forced him to change his training routine.

Oxlade-Chamberlain missed 364 days of action after he damaged his cruciate ligament during the Reds Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma in April 2018.

"[Training's] changed," Oxlade-Chamberlain told GQ. "There are certain things that I have to make sure I look after.

"I can't just turn up and go and train now, I still have to get some treatment on my knee before going into the gym for pre-activation.

"This helps to get myself fired up and be ready to go out and train.

"Obviously, with a major injury like mine, you get back to playing but your body is still adapting.

"So I still feel aches from time to time but I always make sure that I'm warmed up.

"It's the same with any long injury, it changes things, you just have to adapt to that."
