SHEYI OJO is back in training at Liverpool after suffering a stress fracture in his back during pre-season.
The young winger complained off discomfort after the club’s pre-season tour of America and was initially expected to be out for just a month.
But in September it was announced he would be out a lot longer than anticipated.
However the England U19 international has now posted on Instagram: “Back running. The return is near.”
Ojo joined the Reds’ academy from MK Dons in 2011 and was recalled by Jurgen Klopp from a loan spell at Wolves last January.
Under the German boss he impressed during 11 appearances for Liverpool in the second half of last season, scoring his first goal for the club in their FA Cup third round replay against Exeter City.
The injury came about when Ojo went straight on the pre-season tour in California without having a rest after England U19s' European Championship campaign.
He shone for the young Lions as they reached the semi-finals of the tournament in Germany.
Before his injury, Ojo had impressed in the tour of the United States, scoring in their 2-1 defeat against Roma.
