Danny Welbeck scored two goals for Brighton & Hove Albion against Liverpool on Saturday. The performance took his goal tally to 12 for the current season. This match occurred one day after England manager Thomas Tuchel excluded the forward from his national squad selection.
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler described Welbeck as a great connecter who provides more than just goals to the team. The striker has established himself as a central figure in the Brighton attack during the 2025-26 campaign.
Tuchel announced his squad for the upcoming international fixtures on Friday. Despite Welbeck's recent form in the Premier League, the 35-year-old forward was not included in the list of players for the national side. Welbeck previously earned 42 caps for England, scoring 16 goals during his international career. Brighton currently sits in the top half of the Premier League table following the result at Anfield, according to official league statistics and reporting from The Guardian.
