Chelsea forward Liam Delap sustained a suspected dislocated shoulder during Saturday’s fixture against Bournemouth, forcing him off the pitch and leaving manager Enzo Maresca awaiting confirmation of the extent of the injury.
Chelsea suffered a major injury scare on Saturday as forward Liam Delap was forced off during the match against Bournemouth with a suspected dislocated shoulder.
The summer signing landed heavily following a duel at a corner in the first half, visibly struggling as he left the pitch. Manager Enzo Maresca introduced Marc Guiu as a replacement.
The club now faces an anxious wait to determine the severity of the injury, which could leave the Blues short of central striking options.
Delap’s forced exit marks another significant blow to the squad, requiring further tests before a definitive timeline for recovery can be established.
