Man City midfielder Milner upbeat over Oxlade-Chamberlain fitness

Manchester City midfielder James Milner has delivered an upbeat report on England teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's progress.

The Arsenal attacker is recovering from a knee strain.

Speaking at a Vauxhall-sponsored England fans' forum, Milner said Oxlade-Chamberlain was making good progress.

"It's great to see Ox about running," the Manchester City midfielder said.

"He obviously feared not long ago that it might be the end of his tournament, but the running he has been doing...

"He saw one of the physios off because he couldn't keep up with him so another physio had to come in and run the second part of the running with him, so he is running at good speed and coming along well."
