Sheyi Ojo set to make Liverpool return with U23 side - source

LIVERPOOL -- Sheyi Ojo looks set to make a return to action with Liverpool under-23s against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon, a source has told ESPN FC.

Ojo, 19, has been out of action since August with a small fracture in his back and was only given the green light to return to training last month.

It was initially expected that Ojo was injured for a month. However, sources told ESPN FC in August that Liverpool were unwilling to put a concrete timescale due to the nature of his injury.

Manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters at Melwood on Friday morning that Ojo would work with the U23s for the "next few weeks" in order to get back to full fitness.
