Brighton boss Graham Potter has explained the absence of Danny Welbeck for their draw with Rangers.

The 30-year-old striker was named in the Seagulls second half 11 and was set to play alongside Florin Andone up top.

However, Welbeck never emerged for the second half and Under-23's defender James Furlong took his place on the field.

But Potter revealed that Welbeck had a slight feeling and they did not want to risk him.

He said: "I need to speak to Danny and the physios.

"He litterally just had a feeling before he was about to come on, so we didn't want to take any chances, we are at that stage where we don't want to take chances.

"So we will see how he goes but hopefully nothing to worry about."
