Enzo Maresca Plays Down Chelsea Panic Ahead of Everton as Double Injury Boost Shared

Liam Delap faces another sidelining after a suspected shoulder dislocation at Bournemouth, compounding Chelsea’s injury struggles this season, manager Enzo Maresca confirmed.

  • On Saturday, Chelsea striker Liam Delap was forced off injured during the first half of Chelsea FC's away Premier League match at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium, with Marc Guiu, Chelsea forward and substitute, replacing him.
  • With a summer move worth £30million, Liam Delap, Chelsea striker, missed two months of his debut season due to a groin injury sustained after transferring from Ipswich.
  • Delap went down after grappling with Bournemouth defender Marcus Senesi at a corner and landed awkwardly, requiring immediate attention from Chelsea medical staff as he left the pitch using his shirt as a sling.
  • With the medical outlook unclear, Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager, said Chelsea FC faces another absence as Liam Delap, Chelsea striker, may be sidelined roughly six weeks for his suspected dislocated shoulder.
  • With Chelsea already stretched by absences, including Moises Caicedo suspended, Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo sidelined until the New Year, and Levi Colwill out for the season, Delap's injury would worsen squad strain ahead of matches against Newcastle, Aston Villa and Manchester City.
