Southampton fullback Tino Livramento expects to be back in 2023 as he recovers from an ACL.

He admitted if he could say one thing to himself in a year's time, it would firstly be congratulations on working so hard to get back.

"The biggest thing to happen to me was my injury," he explained in a feature with club media.

"It was a real eye-opener for me to see how my body would react. It's just a massive test mentally.

"In a weird way I have enjoyed it but at the same time I've been itching to get back so I can't wait."

Livramento added: "The biggest thing in my life right now is coming back from the injury which I had about five or six months ago. I am just taking it step by step."
