Top drawer.

While the news that Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss the rest of the season is gutting, it was to be expected after seeing the pain he was in.

In fact, after the match, his manager Jurgen Klopp and his teammates knew just how bad it was.

It's probably a really bad injury," Klopp told BT Sport.

"If you can say that already before the scan then it's never good news."

While midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, who replaced Oxlade-Chamberlain during the semi-final first leg, said: "I just spoke with him in the dressing room and what the manager said is difficult.

"We still have to see how bad it is. I hope it will not be that bad and he can still go to the World Cup."
