Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain absent from Liverpool training before the match against Seville on American tour

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was absent from the Liverpool team who had trained at Fenway Park on Saturday.

But there is nothing to suggest that the midfielder suffered any setback.

Oxlade-Chamberlain followed his own training schedule after playing an hour of Friday's 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund at Notre Dame.

It's the longest match of the 25 years since his return after being away for a year with a serious knee injury.

Liverpool is naturally careful not to exercise too much the midfielder, who, according to the boss of the Reds, Jurgen Klopp, can play an important role in the next campaign.

Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared at the edge of the lawn in a Fenway Park in Boston near the end of the training session and was greeted with enthusiastic applause from his supporters.

Bobby Duncan and Adam Lallana, who missed the Dortmund match with minor hits, were also absent from the main group.

As Nathaniel Clyne, who left the match, was hit on the right leg on Friday night.

Liverpool will face Sevilla tomorrow in the second game of their American tour.
