If I had been that paramedic chatting to a Brighton fan I would have also said, 'don't worry he's fine mate, just precautionary'
I'm sure I would have too - certainly to one who I knew (as was the case here), rather than perhaps randoms.Which is just about exactly what happened
It was more the scary part about Welbeck not being able to initial feel his legs that seemed like information that ought not to have been made public (unless the player himself at some point chose to make so).
