Matt O’Riley’s debut for Brighton turned into a nightmare scenario as he was forced off the pitch just six minutes into his first game for the club.
This unfortunate incident came shortly after his high-profile £30 million transfer from Celtic.
O’Riley’s debut was abruptly cut short due to a poor tackle that resulted in him being substituted early in the match.
After the game, O’Riley was seen leaving the AMEX Stadium on crutches, a concerning sight that suggests he could be facing a significant injury setback.
Brighton, despite this setback, managed to secure a convincing 4-0 victory in the Carabao Cup tie over Crawley Town.
The focus now shifts to the extent of O’Riley’s injury, with hopes that the issue is not too serious and that he can return to action soon and begin to impress in England.
For Celtic, they are now looking to replace the departed Danish star before the window shuts on Friday.
