SAINTS defender Tino Livramento has suffered a minor setback in his ACL injury return and has been seen using crutches to assist his movement.
The 19-year-old has been spotted at Staplewood also wearing a brace, just weeks after returning to light training sessions with the senior group.
However, the Daily Echo is told that Livramento's concern is separate from his ACL issue and is instead a hamstring.
The brace worn is a full-leg precaution to assist with the leg muscle injury.

Manager Nathan Jones last week confirmed the club would not rush the youngster back from the initial injury he suffered in April.
Livramento, who starred in his debut Premier League season last campaign, required surgery after needing a stretcher to leave the field at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The England under-21 international is yet to feature in a matchday squad since but did travel to Spain for the training camp during the World Cup break
