Available after extended absence Welbeck (strain) is in the squad to face Arsenal on Sunday.

Targeting Sunday return Welbeck (strain) is targeting a return for Sunday's clash with Arsenal, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in training Friday Welbeck (strain) was spotted in training, but it remains to be seen if he'll be an option to face Burnley on Saturday.

Impact Welbeck was initially expected to be back at some point in January, but he is beating the expected timeline, and his return to training suggests he might return to the squad before the end of the calendar year. Welbeck hasn't played since Oct. 21, and while he has started in eight of his previous 10 appearances in all competitions, he has just one goal to show for it.

Could return in 2023 Welbeck (strain) is eyeing to return before the end of 2023 after suffering a strain about a month ago, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, per Brian Owen of The Argus.

Impact Welbeck may return sooner than expected, now thinking of a return before the end of 2023 instead of late into January. The club will hope this comes to fruition, as they are already very banged up in the attacking department, and Welbeck was a regular starter before his injury. Once the player does return, he should be expected to get a nod in the starting XI immediately.

Facing extended absence Welbeck (strain) will be sidelined indefinitely after manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters Wednesday. "Solly March is injured, Danny Welbeck as well. Solly's injury is unfortuna...

Prior to getting hurt, Welbeck made four starts in the club's previous five contests, including the previous UEL matchup with Marseille. In those five appearances, the forward managed two shots (one on target), one cross (inaccurate) and three tackles (one won). Joao Pedro figures to fill the attacking midfield role with Welbeck on the shelf.

Scores against former club Welbeck scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 3-1 victory at Man Utd.

Impact Welbeck was in the starting XI despite missing the previous game with a muscular injury and he netted the opener when he slotted home from inside the area. He is competing with Evan Ferguson for a starting spot and the Scotsman would most likely have got the nod if he had been fully fit.
