Welbeck, the Brighton star, shares encouraging news after scan results

The forward netted the winning goal for his team in a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United, executing a brilliant one-two play with Georginio Rutter.

The ex-Arsenal and Manchester United star then collided with Fabian Schar and then went down with a back injury.

Welbeck tweeted: “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.”
