Academy Show: Oxlade-Chamberlain's return, Woodburn's future, and huge week for the Academy

Welcome to the Academy Show, hosted by Paul Wheelock, and featuring our Liverpool FC reporter Ian Doyle, and Post-Game and View from the Kop regular Matt Addison. Matt is also a regular down at the Academy in Kirkby and he joins Paul to talk the big win for the Under 18s that maintained their lead at the top of the U18 Premier League North table – and set up a huge week that will see their fight for glory on three fronts continue. They also talk the incredible scoring feats of Bobby Duncan and Paul Glatzel, the emergence of Fidel O’Rourke, and the next player Matt believes has the potential to break into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team squad. Klopp was at Anfield on Monday night to watch Liverpool Under-23s lose the mini-derby 2-0 to Everton. Ian Doyle was also there – and he gives us the lowdown on a bad night for Neil Critchley’s side. One of the positives to come out of the game was that Ben Woodburn came through 90 minutes unscathed. Ian talks Woodburn’s future before going on to explain why Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain didn’t feature as first expected. The good news is that Chamberlain is set to play for the U23s at Derby County on Friday afternoon. But as Ian also explains, the Reds are going to have a little longer yet to get Rhian Brewster back.
