Arsenal attacker Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain feels he's in top shape for the season ahead.
Injury saw him miss England's World Cup campaign over the summer.
"I've learned to cope with disappointing times," he told the Mail on Sunday. "It's the first time I've had a situation like that. It's horrible to see everyone playing and getting the rewards from winning games when you can't do that. But if you look at it with a positive attitude, you do come out of the other side really well.
'You work on things you don't know about until you're injured. Everyone goes to the gym for the bicep bells and bench-press, but when you're injured you work on your core, your pelvic floor, groins, glutes, stuff like yoga that makes you stronger all-round in terms of injury prevention. I've learned to look after my body more than I used to."
