Blow for Chelsea as Delap Sidelined Until December
Liam Delap's hamstring injury occurred during a recent win and will sideline the £30 million signing for approximately 10 to 12 weeks, Chelsea manager confirmed.
- On Friday, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Liam Delap will be sidelined for up to 12 weeks with a hamstring problem ahead of the trip to Brentford.
- Facing 7 FA charges, Chelsea has until September 19 to respond, according to the English Football Association.
- Maresca stressed the squad is not distracted, saying, `I know from the club that they are satisfied about the process`, and added, `Cole took part in the session yesterday for the first time, not the entire session`.
- Delap's injury triggered a late transfer scramble ending with Marc Guiu's recall from Sunderland, while Nicolas Jackson's Bayern Munich loan completed, leaving Joao Pedro as likely lead striker.
- Chelsea head into Matchweek 4 with seven points from three games and face London rivals Brentford on Saturday, with Alejandro Garnacho possibly on the bench despite limited match fitness.
