Welbeck (ankle) is doubtful for the remainder of 2024, coach Fabian Hurzeler announced. "He played with painkillers at Leicester," Hurzeler explained. "We thought he would be ready for that game. He also felt ready. You have to find the right solution for the club and for the player. You can't push him through this period with painkillers all the time. It's our responsibility to take care of the health of the player. That is why we had another scan. We tried to listen to other experts on ankle injuries and now we will try to find the right solution for Danny. He is very doubtful for the games in the rest of this year."
ANALYSIS
Welbeck featured for 20 minutes against Leicester on Dec. 8 but required painkillers to play. The club is prioritizing his recovery, leaving him doubtful for the remaining matches this year. Georginio Rutter or Joao Pedro could see increased playing time in his absence.

Could sign new contract

October 10, 2023
Welbeck could sign a new contract with Brighton, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Welbeck is not as young as some of the other top players in the Brighton squad, but he's been very productive and brings a stable veteran presence upfront. Welbeck has netted just one goal in seven EPL appearances in 2023/24, but that goal was a game-winning strike against Manchester United.
