Liverpool fans are unhappy about Gareth Southgate selecting Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to represent England in their upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers.
The 26-year-old recently made a comeback after missing 12 months due to rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during the Reds’ Champions League semi-final against Roma in 2018.
He has scored four goals in his last four games, scoring against his former club Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and in both ties against Genk, where he scored a brace at the Luminus Arena.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has made 57 appearances since his £35m move from Arsenal in 2017 and has scored nine goals and provided nine assists in that time.
After a positive start to the new campaign in which Liverpool are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, supporters are unhappy with him going to play for England.

One fan said that the club should “kindly” tell Southgate no and that the last thing that the club needs is a freak injury during the international break.
Here you will find some of the best comments from Liverpool fans:
That’s terrible news! We don’t need a player like Ox going there and being at any risk.

Of course he has!! He wasn’t deemed good enough last time but naturally 3 champions league goals has changed all that!! Have no doubt he’ll come back injured. Can we send the @lfc medical team with him???
