Liverpool are off to the sunny shores of Dubai for a much-needed warm weather break. The Reds lead the Premier League but came off two tough wins in recent weeks.
The last one saw us just about defeat Crystal Palace at Anfield and a few players are doubtful for the clash against Leicester City.
Fabinho and Trent Alexander-Arnold are facing fitness issues, however, there was some good news for the Liverpool fans as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was caught training in Dubai.

The Englishman picked up an ACL injury in our Champions League tie against AS Roma last season and has not played for the side since.
The Reds have missed his driving runs and goals this season. Who knows what the team could have done if Liverpool had Oxlade-Chamberlain playing from the first game in this campaign!
It would be fantastic if we can have the Ox back for some games during the later stage of the season as we look to win a trophy under Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds hold a four-point lead over Manchester City and have some tough games remaining this season.
Several fans were excited over Ox’s training and here are some of their reactions from Twitter.

First week out on the pitch and He’s already back to a level where he would be Evertons best player

I’ve not been this excited about someone returning from injury in a while

Looking good out there. Seems like the club have been doing a fantastic job with getting him back to fitness at the right pace (which is somehow still faster than expected). Probably help that Ox has such a great attitude and determination to get back on the pitch.
