Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is delighted to be back in action for England.

Oxlade-Chamberlain missed a year of action for Liverpool and England due to a serious knee injury last season.

He scored his first England goal since June 2017 in the Euros qualifying thumping of Montenegro.

Asked whether this is a fresh start for England, he said: “In a way, yes.

“I have been around for a while and had a lot of injuries that have kept me out of big games and tournaments.

“I think that going to Liverpool people saw that as a new start and then when I started to find my feet in midfield it was like a new Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain that people hadn't seen at Arsenal quite as consistently.

“I was coming into that form when we played Holland and Italy in the March just before I got injured and I think I brought that form into England and it fitted into this team but since the injury I guess I am trying to pick up where I left off with that in Liverpool and with England.
