Liverpool Loanee Sheyi Ojo Too Hot For Dijon To Handle On Full Debut For Reims
Published: September 23, 2018Liverpool loanee Sheyi Ojo made his full debut for Reims as they were held to a goalless draw by Dijon on game week six in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday evening.
The England U21 star, who joined Reims on a season-long loan in the summer transfer window, earlier appeared off the bench in matches against Montpellier and Nantes before making the starting lineup at Stade Auguste-Delaune II.
Ojo used his pace and skill to skin the Dijon defenders several times in the first half but the Reims strikers could not finish.
In the 58th minute, Algeria defensive midfielder Mehdi Abeid was yellow carded for fouling the Nigerian winger and he had to be replaced a minute later.
Despite starring for Liverpool in pre-season, manager Jurgen Klopp sanctioned the temporary departure of Ojo as he was behind more experienced players such as Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri in the pecking order
of wide players.
He previously spent time on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham and Wigan Athletic.
