Jurgen Klopp has offered backing for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in his latest press conference ahead of the Reds’ clash with Southampton this evening in the Premier League.

The Saints visit Anfield this evening with them one of the Ox’s former sides and, indeed, this current chapter in his playing career has had its ups and downs.

He’s scored some famous goals and won some big trophies, of course, but has also struggled with fitness issues and, of late, has found it hard to get into the team despite being injury-free.

Klopp was asked about that in his press conference, though, and reaffirmed that he still had faith in the former Arsenal player:

“[My faith has never wavered] no, yes [I still have faith].”

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

‘The Ox’ is a player that could well see things change this summer in terms of where he is playing but it at least sounds as though Klopp is planning on keeping him.

In fairness, he’s hardly going to say anything different in front of the press and we’ll just have to see what happens this summer with the player and his future.
