Danny Welbeck had a tough day on the pitch during Brighton's exciting win against Newcastle United. The 33-year-old striker managed to score the winning goal in the first half, making it his fifth goal of the Premier League season so far. However, things took a turn for the worse when he was forced to leave the game in the 81st minute after a rough aerial challenge with Newcastle's Fabian Schar.
The impact of the challenge left Welbeck with a knee to his lower back, causing him to immediately receive medical attention from the emergency staff. As he was stretchered off, it was clear that his injury was serious as he required oxygen to help ease the pain. Brighton's head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, shared that Welbeck was taken to the hospital for further scans on his back.
After the game, Hurzeler gave an update on Welbeck's condition, stating that they were still waiting for the results of the scans. He also mentioned that the injury occurred when Welbeck was hit by the knee of his opponent. The team was hopeful that the injury wasn't too severe, but they couldn't be certain at the moment.
Fortunately, Welbeck was able to join his teammates on the flight back home. Brighton's social media accounts shared a picture of him on the plane, accompanied by a message that he may be a bit bruised and battered, but he was still their match winner. They also expressed their gratitude to the fans who showed support for Welbeck as he was being stretchered off the field.
Brighton's next match is against Wolves in the Premier League, and it's unclear if Welbeck will be able to play. However, the team remains optimistic and will continue to monitor his recovery closely. In the meantime, they are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from fans and are looking forward to Welbeck's return to the pitch.
