Ojeda had a short spell on loan at Argentine outfit Defensa y Justica who won the Copa Sudamericana in 2020 before firming down a place at one of Paraguay’s biggest clubs, Olimpia who he helped win their 45^th national title with.

Mohamed Drager was next, from Olimpiakos, who else, an attacking right back and Tunisian international with 18 caps, formerly of Freiburg, the German born defender will slot straight in to the void left by Gabriel and will add huge experience in a problem position having played in the Bundesliga and Greek Super League.
