The 33-year-old was treated on the field for several minutes
Welbeck opened the scoring as the Seagulls targeted back-to-back league wins.
But his day was cut short after an incident in the 77th minute.
The former Arsenal star fell to the floor following an innocuous coming together with Toon centre-back Fabian Schar.
He appeared to tweak something in his back, hitting the deck before calling for medical staff.
Welbeck required oxygen as he was stretchered from the field, with Jan Paul van Hecke replacing him.
The 33-year-old has been enjoying a stunning start to the new campaign.
He has already netted as many goals in the league this season as he managed in the entire of last term.
After his strike on Saturday, Welbeck now has five goals – as many as he managed in 29 league games in 2023/24.
