Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is far from the luckiest footballer we've ever seen play for Liverpool when it comes to injuries, that is safe to say.

The former Arsenal midfielder played an important part in helping the Reds overcome Brentford at the weekend with a 3-o scoreline getting recorded, with him on the scoresheet as well.

Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to roll his ankle in a collision with a Brentford defender and that ended his game there and then.

It's such a shame, too, as he was having a good game and certainly getting himself in the frame to start at Arsenal at the end of this week.

However, there is every chance that he'll be missing the action at the Emirates on Thursday night, and hopefully he just won't be out for too soon.
