Ex-Golden Eaglets Trainee Ejaria Plays First Game In Three Months For Liverpool Against Man City
Published: April 24, 2017
Former Golden Eaglets invitee Ovie Ejaria played his first game in three months for Liverpool at any level in their hard fought 3-2 win over Manchester City in a Premier League 2 encounter at Prenton Park on Monday night.
The exciting talent picked up a long-term injury in the Reds 2-1 loss to Wolves back in January, and returned to full training last week.
In Ejaria's bid to return to full fitness, he was handed game time for about an hour against the visitors from Manchester.
The England U20 star was joined in the starting XI by teammate Sheyi Ojo, Tosin Adarabioyo also started for City and Ashinme Kigbu took his place among the substitutes.
Ejaria has less than two weeks to prove he is in tiptop condition before Young Lions boss Paul Simpson announces his roster for this summer's Fifa U20 World Cup.
