Brighton will be injured, missing the first three premier league rounds and returning in September

Brighton head coach Graham Potter confirmed Danny Welbeck would not return until after the international break in September.

Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Welbeck did not train for the team's pre-match season, injuring his hamstring in last season's penultimate 2-3 loss to Manchester City.

Now the striker will miss Brighton's first three games against Burnley, Watford and Everton.

Welbeck signed a one-year contract renewal with Brighton in June, with the team hoping he will be able to compete with Neal Maupay in the front.

He scored six times in 24 games last season and now the player is hoping to play against Brentford.

Speaking about Welbeck, Porter said: "He was injured at the end of last season. ”

'It's not ideal for him personally and for the team and we think he will be able to return after the international break week.'
