Ebiowei loan terminated early

Malcolm Ebiowei's season-long loan at Oxford United has been terminated and the winger has returned to his parent club Crystal Palace.

The England Under-20 winger started only once for the U's, playing 77 minutes in the Carabao Cup defeat at Coventry in August, following on from 45 minutes off the bench in the previous round at home to Peterborough.

Ebiowei played just 64 minutes in total across four substitute appearances in the Championship, the last of which came in a home defeat by Swansea in early November.

The 21-year-old did not even make the bench in the club's past nine games.

"We would like to wish him well for the future," a U's statement said.
