Jan Paul van Hecke Injury: Forced off late after collision

Van Hecke was forced off late in Saturday's 4-2 defeat against Brentford after a head collision. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution but has now been discharged and is on his way back to Brighton, the club announced.

Van Hecke couldn't finish Saturday's game and was forced off in the 89th minute due to a head collision that looked serious. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution and has since been discharged and allowed to return home. That said, he will likely be monitored in the coming days in case a concussion protocol needs to be followed. If an issue is revealed and he is unable to feature in the near future, Eiran Cashin is expected to see increased playing time.
