Southampton midfielder Stuart Armstrong says Tino Livramento's return is a "massive boost" for the team.
The 19-year-old fullback has quickly become a favourite at St. Mary's following his summer arrival from Chelsea.
Livramento suffered a meniscus injury in January which caused him to miss six matches, but he returned on Saturday as Saints defeated Coventry in the FA Cup fourth-round.
Armstrong told the Daily Echo: "He's a top quality player and he's obviously shown that lots of times – a lot of potential.
"It's a massive boost to the team to have him back."
