Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has welcomed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's return to action.

Oxlade-Chamberlain made his comeback from injury in Saturday's win over Crystal Palace.

He made his first appearance of the campaign – having sustained a knee injury in pre-season – when he replaced Roberto Firmino in the 75th minute at Selhurst Park.

The No.15 still had enough time to leave his mark on the contest as he laid on the assist for the Reds' seventh and final goal of the afternoon.

"Very nice to see Ox back," Henderson told Liverpoolfc.com after the 7-0 defeat of the Eagles.

"He's been working extremely hard to get back. Looking sharp again and I thought he did well when he came on.

"So the more minutes he can get, the better really because he's a big addition to our team."
