According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal supporters will be worried about the fitness of their young star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is struggling to keep fit ahead of a crucial World Cup campaign for the England national team.

The 20-year old has progressed well ever since he moved from Southampton. In his debut season, his appearances were limited to cameos off the bench, but in the following seasons, the youngster has impressed with his exciting gameplay. Lack of goals has been a problem for the player, but his burst of pace, combined with his tenacity to get into the box and creating chances has been encouraging for the Arsenal supporters.

England supporters are again dreading a poor performance in the World Cup, due to the inexperience of the squad available to Roy Hodgson. It will most likely be the last major competition for players like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, both of whom have served their country on many occasions. Hodgson will try and create the best mix from young players like Chamberlain who can switch a game in England’s favour quicker.
