The 19-year-old defender was down with an injury for several minutes before being substituted in the first half of\u00a0 Southampton&#8217;s last Premier League fixture against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_self\">Brighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Southampton&#8217;s manager Ralph Hasenh\u00fcttl was worried in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southamptonfc.com\/news\/2022-04-24\/ralph-hasenhuttl-on-tino-livramento-injury-southampton-football-club-24-april-2022\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post-match interview<\/a>, saying that the injury looks &#8220;very serious&#8221;. However, he stated that everyone in the club believes that Livramento will come back even stronger after the injury.<\/p>\n<p>The former Chelsea academy star, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/02\/southampton-tino-livramento-chelsea\/\" target=\"_self\">who was bought for around \u00a35 million<\/a>, was having a dream first season. He made 31 appearances in all competitions, providing 1 goal and 1 assist. This is even more remarkable, considering the strong competition for the right-back position in the team. Romain Perraud and Kyle Walker-Peters have seen their playing time reduced due to the breakout season of the young Livramento.<\/p>\n<p>His great performances were also noticed by England U21 head coach Lee Carsley. Livramento featured in 5 games for the youth national team and will be eager to represent his country again after the injury.<\/p>\n<div class=\"heading__title\">\n<h3>Southampton Will Be Without Young Star for Upcoming Fixtures<\/h3>\n<p>Tino Livramento has played an important role in the Saints squad this season. Shadowing breakout star Kyle Walker-Peters, Livramento really has grown into his role since joining from Chelsea. At just 19 he is already starting to show great promise. Just like his teammate Walker-Peters, he has also been able to grow since leaving his top four club. This injury is no doubt a big setback. But providing he can recover well from his surgery, the young Southampton star still has plenty of time to pick things up again next season.<\/p>\n<p>Hitting 40 points is a big step towards staving off relegation.
