Having fallen behind to Brighton and Hove Albion early in the first half of Sunday afternoon’s Premier League encounter at the Amex Stadium, after watching defender Tino Livramento suffer a bad injury, Southampton will be wondering if their afternoon could get any worse.
As the game was approaching the mid-way point, the talented full-back was spotted going down, seemingly twisting his knee in the process.
Although there appeared to be no serious contact, the nature of the injury was serious, and teammate Nathan Tella clearly reacted to it.
Livaremento is seen walking away with his head in his hands, indicating that he has seriously injured himself.
Nathan Tella’s reaction to Livramento’s injury was as follows. The stretcher has been removed.
Perraud is on his way.
Keep your fingers crossed for Tino. Has had a fantastic season; hopefully this isn’t as serious as it appears.#SaintsFC https://t.co/GOUwzu4Puf

Brighton & Hove Albion fans and manager Graham Potter make a classy gesture as Southampton player Livramento limps off with what appears to be a serious injury. Wow???
The former Chelsea academy graduate was quickly stretchered off the field of play by medics and replaced by Romain Perraud.
