Chelsea's Delap May Be Out for Weeks After Injury During Fulham Win, Maresca Says

On Saturday, Chelsea striker Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury at Stamford Bridge, pulling up clutching his thigh about 13 minutes into the game and was substituted; manager Enzo Maresca warned he may be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
With Palmer and Colwill sidelined this month, Nicolas Jackson's Bayern Munich loan and Christopher Nkunku's AC Milan transfer reduce Chelsea's senior forwards, leaving Joao Pedro as the only natural striker.
The match included two notable VAR interventions, including a disallowed Fulham goal and a penalty decision Maresca publicly disputed.
Maresca warned the club may pursue reinforcements before the deadline, saying Chelsea sporting staff will 'sit and we'll see if we take any decisions' before 7pm on Monday.
On the final weekend before the international break, Liam Delap's injury is significant as he joined Chelsea this summer after they triggered his 30 million release clause from Ipswich Town.
