Southampton teenage defender Tino Livramento is set to miss the rest of 2022 after suffering a major injury to his anterior cruciate ligament.
Livramento, signed by Saints from Chelsea last summer, was forced off during Ralph Hasenhuttl's side's 2-2 Premier League draw away at Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday with a knee injury. Initial scans have now shown that Livramento has suffered a significant injury to his ACL that is likely to keep him out for the rest of the calendar year, with an early prognosis being a lay-off of between eight and nine months.
That would rule him out of the rest of the season, most of next season and any outside chances of playing in the World Cup later this year.
