Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s injury could force a rethink of Liverpool’s transfer plans for the summer with Jurgen Klopp likely to dip into the market for a fresh face to bolster his midfield ranks.
A hamstring issue for Chamberlain, who has often struggled with fitness issues during his time at Anfield, is expected to sideline the England international until October in a setback to Liverpool’s depth in the centre of the park.
According to The Daily Express, Chamberlain’s injury could convince Klopp to scout the transfer market for a new midfield signing to add to his options before the next season gets underway.
Recent developments in the Liverpool fold had seen the club block promising talent Tyler Morton’s loan move to Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers in wake of Chamberlain’s hamstring issue coming into the picture.
Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham remains Liverpool’s priority on the transfer front but an approach for the teenager is likely to be delayed until next summer with Dortmund reluctant on parting ways with their midfield maestro for the time being.
