Danny Welbeck, a key player for Brighton, was unfortunately unable to participate in their recent 3-1 loss to Fulham on Thursday. However, team physio Fabian Hurzeler remains optimistic that Welbeck will recover in time for their upcoming match against Leicester City on Sunday in the Premier League.
Despite being a crucial part of the team, Welbeck was unable to make the matchday squad for the game at Craven Cottage. Fulham took an early lead thanks to Alex Iwobi's goal in the fourth minute, but Brighton's Carlos Baleba quickly equalized with a stunning strike from outside the box. However, Fulham regained the lead late in the game with Matt O'Riley's own goal, and Iwobi sealed the victory with his second goal of the night.
Now, Brighton must focus on their next opponent, Leicester City, under the leadership of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Hurzeler is hopeful that Welbeck will be able to make a quick return to the pitch after sustaining a minor injury during the team's previous game against Southampton.
According to Hurzeler, Welbeck picked up the injury while conceding a foul against Southampton, but the team is taking necessary precautions to ensure his full recovery. They are hopeful that he will be back in action for the match against Leicester on Sunday.
Welbeck has been a standout player for Brighton this season, scoring six goals in 13 Premier League appearances. Despite the disappointment of the loss to Fulham, Brighton remains in a respectable fifth place in the Premier League table. They will face a tough challenge against Leicester, who secured a 3-1 victory over West Ham in Van Nistelrooy's first game in charge on Tuesday night.
