Season over for Ox!

It's been confirmed from LFC now!

Devastated for him and also for the club and country. No World Cup either!

Really gutted for him, we are going to miss him. We are now really short in midfield with 5 Games to go. just hope he's back for the start of next season.

Can we recall grujic?

No, clubs have to register their 25 players for CL, last change is before knockout round of 16 (so you can add January transfers)

If we brought them back they could play in PL I guess, so might take the pressure off to rotate players.

Any mention how long they expect him out for? not seen anyone mention ACL, hopefully he will be back for next season.

Heard it wasn't even confirmed from the club he'd be back for pre season in July, so it might be a nasty one this!

Gutted for him,just started to look useful.

I'll 2nd that sentiment.

Never fussed on him at The Arsenal, but he's really developed well under Kloppy lad.

He must feel absolutely devastated. No CL semi and possibly final, and no World Cup.
Doesn't get much worse for the lad than that.

I knew as soon as I seen it that it was a season ender and out for the world cup...best Wishes to Ox for a speedy recovery!

I would consider putting Firmino in the more advanced central Mid role and have him join the attack whenever possible, it's also Ings's big chance to solidify a role in the squad in the current Firmino role...this is "if" one of the Mid 3 of Hendo, Wij or Milner get injured.

We are down to our bare ar*e of a squad, I'm sure Klopp will never make the same mistake again and will rectify it in the summer.

Champions League squad for knockout phase:

Goalkeepers: Migs, Karius, Ward, Kelleher

Defenders: Clyne, Van Dijk, Lovren, TAA, Klavan, Gomez, Moreno, Robertson, X- Matip, Masterson

Midfielders: Wij, Milner, Hendo, X-Can, X-Ox, X-Lallana, Jones, Herbie Kane

Forwards: Firmino, Salah, Ings, Solanke, Brewster, Woodburn

Midfield is sparse, are Curtis Jones & Herbie Kane any good?

I'd rather they play a man down than have that weapon playing for us. Loose cannon waiting to go off
