Liverpool's Teixeira breaks leg on loan at Brighton

Joao Teixeira, on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion from Liverpool, faces a long spell on the sidelines after breaking his leg.

Liverpool midfielder Joao Teixeira has been ruled out for the rest of the season after breaking his leg on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion.

The 22-year-old has been a regular in the Brighton first team since arriving from Anfield at the beginning of the season, but was stretchered off late on in a goal-less Championship draw with Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.

A subsequent X-ray taken at a local hospital showed a break just above the ankle.
