Liverpool youngster Joao Carlos Teixeira has returned to Anfield from his loan spell at Brentford.

The Portugal U20 international made just two substitute appearances during his short stint with the Bees.

Teixeira was due to remain at Griffin Park until January, but is back with the Premier League outfit after just a month in west London.

The former Sporting Lisbon youngster featured for Liverpool U21s against Tottenham Hotspur this evening.
