Teixeira injury blow as Albion slip closer to danger zone [The Argus]

Albion slipped closer to the bottom three tonight – and lost a key player to a seemingly serious injury.
Joao Teixeira was stretchered off on 80 minutes of a dour 0-0 draw at home to Huddersfield.
The Portuguese attacker twisted as he fell while committing a foul, for which he was booked, and appeared to damage his knee.
Albion missed the chance to pick up a much-needed win and are now seven points clear of the drop zone after Millwall beat Wigan.
But the Seagulls, despite plenty of endeavour, did not deserve to win.
They did not manage a shot on target until the 83rd minute, when Dale Stephens’ drive was blocked by a defender in front of goal.
Bruno saw a mishit cross come back off the bar and Inigo Calderon had an injury-time effort blocked.
