Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed a significant injury blow to Liam Delap. The striker dislocated his shoulder against Bournemouth, an unfortunate setback that will sideline him for “quite some time.” Maresca highlighted Delap’s bad luck, having already missed two months.
In Delap’s absence, Marc Guiu featured but struggled to make an impact. Chelsea is now winless in three straight league games, sitting eight points behind Arsenal after 15 matches. The team next faces Atalanta in the Champions League before hosting Everton.
