Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain continued his long road to recovery from his knee injury by enjoying a day out in the sun at Anfield to watch Brazil’s friendly with Croatia.
The Liverpool and England midfielder wore a black leg brace and crutches after picking up a knee ligament injury in the Champions League semi-final first leg with Roma in April.
While he continues his rehabilitation, which will see him miss this month’s World Cup finals, the 24-year-old posed for selfies and signed autographs for fans before the international friendly being held at Anfield on Sunday.

Along with Adam Lallana, the pair sat in the stands to watch a couple of their Liverpool team-mates play in the friendly encounter.
However, it was Croatian defender Dejan Lovren that Oxlade-Chamberlain took special exception to begin with on Sunday.
During a goalless first half, the former Arsenal man jokingly tracked Lovren’s movements on his Instagram story, giving his Croatian team-mate his own ‘player-cam’.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made sure that his 3 millions followers were able to see for a short amount of time how the 28-year-old got on against Brazil.

‘The Ox’ then paid tribute to his other Liverpool team-mate involved on Sunday as Roberto Firmino came on to replace Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
As Anfield’s tannoy announcer read out the changes, Oxlade-Chamberlain let out a huge cheer, along with many other fans in the stadium, to show his support for the Reds striker.
Following Neymar’s superb solo effort to open the scores, Firmino made it 2-0 in the dying minutes after muscling off a defender to lift the ball over the on-rushing Danijel Subasic in goal.
Brazil face Austria in their final friendly before setting off for Russia to compete at the World Cup in under a fortnight’s time.
