Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expects Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be fully fit for England training ahead of the World Cup.
The 20-year old midfielder was left out of Arsenal's FA Cup triumph on the weekend as he continues to recover from a groin injury but Wenger suggests he will be fine to prepare with the Three Lions for Brazil 2014.
"Alex was desperate to play in the final, and pain-wise, he could have played," Wenger told Sky Sports.
"But I judged him short physically and I felt that in the game, I wanted to play the players who were completely fit and prepared.
"He is a bit short physically. They said to me he can play 20 or 30, but you cannot program it like that, and so that is why I left him out.
"He is on the way up, but he needs more fitness work now. He is okay for England."
