Liverpool's Sheyi Ojo: Jurgen Klopp has said I'll get game time this season

Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo says he has been given assurances by manager Jurgen Klopp that he will get first-team opportunities this season.

Ojo, 19, suffered a small stress fracture in his back during preseason and has only recently returned to action for Liverpool's under-23 side.

The winger had a breakthrough season in 2015-16 -- making 11 appearances for Klopp's team -- and the Reds boss has told him that he will be given a chance when he proves his match fitness.

"[Klopp] has mentioned to me that he wants to give me an opportunity which is nice," Ojo told the Liverpool Echo.
