Liverpool youngster Joao Teixeira suffers broken leg

Liverpool youngster Joao Teixeira suffers a broken leg while playing on loan for Brighton.

Liverpool youngster Joao Teixeira has broken his leg while playing on loan for Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 22-year-old suffered the injury on Tuesday during Brighton's 0-0 draw with Huddersfield Town in the Championship.

"Our thoughts are with Joao, as this is a real blow to him after such a good season for the club," Seagulls boss Chris Hughton told the club's official website. "We all wish him a speedy recovery and return to action."

The Portuguese Under-21 international, who joined Liverpool from Sporting Lisbon in 2012, scored six goals in 35 games for Brighton.
