Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo has returned to light training as he looks to finally make his comeback from injury.

The gifted 19-year-old has been sidelined since he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back in pre-season.

Ojo complained of discomfort following the tour of America and was initially expected to be out for a month.

However, his hopes of a return to action in September were dashed and he has only recently been given the all-clear to step up his rehabilitation.

“Back running. The return is near,” Ojo posted on Instagram.

Ojo, who joined the Reds' Academy from MK Dons in 2011, will be gunning to get his Liverpool career back on track after a breakthrough campaign in 2015/16.

Recalled from a loan spell at Wolves by Jurgen Klopp last January, the pacey wideman enhanced his reputation as he made 11 first-team appearances for the Reds.

In the summer he shone for England Under-19s as he helped them reach the semi-finals of the European Championship in Germany.

He didn't have a proper break and instead headed straight for California to link up with Klopp’s squad on tour and impressed in the friendly matches before back pain forced him to seek medical help.
