The Reds midfielder has not figured for his country in over a year, following a long-term injury, but remains in the thoughts of Gareth Southgate
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been assured that he remains part of England’s plans, with Gareth Southgate merely opting not to rush the Liverpool midfielder.
"I think when you are recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, you need a period of time to get into more starts, more 90 minutes under his belt and it’s an important thing for him that he’s managed to get some minutes at Liverpool," Southgate said of Oxlade-Chamberlain.
"But I think a good pre-season… because what’s happened with him, a couple of minor hamstring injuries, is classic when you’ve been out with a long-term injury.
"We shouldn’t be risking him in our games at this stage of his recovery from a serious injury. But he’s very much in our thoughts for next season."
