Oxlade-Chamberlain explains benefits of playing regularly for Liverpool

Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is happy to get regular playing time this season.

The all-action English star is enjoying a decent campaign with the Reds, having missed many of their games last term due to various injury issues.

After their 2-0 win in the Champions League at Anfield against FC Porto on Wednesday, Oxlade-Chamberlain spoke with the club website about finding his rhythm again.

He stated: "You want to play as much as you can and games in succession is where the rhythm comes from, the fitness comes from, and you grow into things.

"For me personally it's great, T [Thiago] coming back from injury – I'm sure he'd say the same thing.

"It's good having him back. I think tonight it was important with having young Tyler [Morton] - having Thiago and myself, with a bit of experience, helping him along and I thought he did really well."
