Oxlade-Chamberlain was joined by the likes of Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum in a light workout following their returns from international duty.

It is expected that Phillippe Coutinho will return to Melwood on Thursday.

Coutinho was the subject of several transfer bids by Barcelona during the summer transfer window but will resume his Liverpool career after returning from international duty with Brazil.
