It’s a bitter blow for the 22-year-old Portuguese player, who had scored six goals in 32 appearances for the south coast side.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton praised Texiera: “This is a real blow to him after such a good season for the club – and we all wish him a speedy recovery and return to action.

“He’s been an important player for the club this season, both before and after I came to the club, and I would like to thank him for his efforts during his time on loan here, and also Liverpool for allowing him to come.”

Only last week the player had talked of his dream to return to Liverpool and impact the first-team.

“I came to Brighton to become more mature and get more experience, and hopefully next year I will be playing for Liverpool. That is my dream,” he told the Guardian.

Teixeira, who has been likened to compatriot Deco, was signed for £800,000 from Sporting Lisbon in 2012, having impressed in the Next Gen Series against Liverpool’s under-18s.

Last month it was reported that Brendan Rodgers intended to the give Teixeira a chance in pre-season this summer.

Teixeira’s contract expires in 2016 and will face a battle to recover from this injury and earn a new deal at the club.

Liverpool expect Raheem Sterling to stay with them for “a long time”, Reds chief executive Ian Ayre has stressed.

Forward Sterling is in an apparent contract wrangle with the Merseyside outfit, with the 20-year-old admitting he had rejected a £100,000-per-week deal in a recent interview that was not sanctioned by the club.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said soon after that interview that Sterling would “not going anywhere in the summer”.

And, quoted on Wednesday by several national newspapers, Ayre said: “Raheem’s agent has asked that we park all discussions regards his future until the summer. We respect that.

“Raheem is a Liverpool player and has over two years left on his contract. We expect Raheem Sterling to be here for a long time.”

As well as the contract situation, Sterling – who is being linked with the likes of Manchester City – is currently at the centre of further controversy.

Footage was released on Monday of him appearing to inhale the legal high nitrous oxide and then pass out, and images of the England international holding a shisha pipe alongside Reds team-mate Jordon Ibe subsequently emerged on Tuesday.

That was the second time in a matter of days that photographs of Sterling with a shisha pipe had appeared, with a Sunday newspaper also publishing pictures of him allegedly smoking from the instrument.

Rodgers made it clear immediately after Monday night’s 2-0 win over Newcastle that he expects better from his players and the Northern Irishman added he would talk to Sterling about the reports concerning his off-field behaviour.
