FIFA World Cup: Alex Oxlade Chamberlain in line for Uruguay return

England midfielder Alex Oxlade Chamberlain could return from injury in time for his side

Rio de Janeiro: England midfielder Alex Oxlade Chamberlain could return from injury in time for his side’s second World Cup game against Uruguay, manager Roy Hodgson revealed on Tuesday. Oxlade-Chamberlain, 20, damaged ligaments in his right knee during a friendly against Ecuador last week, but he trained wearing a protective brace on Monday.

Although he is expected to miss England’s opening Group D match against Italy in Manaus on Saturday, Hodgson is hopeful that the Arsenal man will be available to face Uruguay in Sao Paulo on June 19.
