Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo is reportedly set to spend a month on the sidelines after a scan revealed he has suffered a fracture in his back.

The 19-year-old impressed for Liverpool during their pre-season, but the Liverpool Echo claim the winger’s progress has been put on hold due to injury.

Ojo managed to break through into the first team last season thanks to hard work and Liverpool’s involvement in the Europa League and did well to carry some of his excellent form into pre-season.

However, the attacker came back from the tour of America complaining of discomfort in his back and was forced to sit out Liverpool’s final pre-season games against Barcelona and Mainz.

Ojo was sent for a scan and the results have confirmed the youngster will have to wait until at least the middle of September to continue his development.

In better news for Liverpool, fellow youngster Pedro Chirivella is nearing a return to full fitness after picking up an injury in July and has returned to training.

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
