However, in a reassuring update, Welbeck took to social media to confirm that he expects to return to training soon. The 33-year-old wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Still a bit sore, but after some extra checks and scan today, I’m pleased to say I should be back in training soon. Thanks to our medical staff and Newcastle Royal Infirmary A&E for their care and professionalism. Also to the boys for waiting for me to get home! Huge 3 points.”

Brighton’s victory propelled them to fifth place in the Premier League, continuing their strong start to the season. The Seagulls displayed a resilient defensive performance, keeping the Magpies at bay throughout the match. Newcastle’s defeat saw them drop to eighth place, now five points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and two points adrift of Chelsea.

Newcastle face a challenging stretch ahead, with crucial fixtures against Chelsea in both the league and the Carabao Cup within the next 10 days. These matches could play a pivotal role in shaping their season, as they also prepare to host Arsenal and travel to Nottingham Forest in the coming weeks.

For Brighton, the potential return of Welbeck in the near future is a boost, as they aim to build on their solid start and maintain their position among the Premier League’s top contenders.
