Chelsea have been given a major boost as striker Liam Delap is on track to make a speedy recovery from the shoulder injury that forced him off during last weekend’s Premier League match against Bournemouth. The England forward was in visible pain after landing heavily in the first half at the Amex Stadium, sparking fears of a lengthy absence just weeks after returning from a two-month hamstring layoff. Delap had started the match Enzo Marescabut lasted less than 30 minutes, with early signs pointing to a potential upset that immediately raised concerns within the Chelsea camp.
However, new reports have allayed these concerns, with medical assessments confirming that Delap has not suffered a fracture and is expected to return within three to four weeks. Maresca confirmed the positive news ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League match against Atalanta, noting that while Delap will miss key matches in domestic and European competitions, he should be fully fit in the new year. The update also seems to have put an end to any plans to hasten a step forward for Strasbourg Emmanuel Emeghawhile Chelsea are expected to rely Marc Guiu and other internal options to fill in in Delap’s absence as the Blues navigate a busy winter schedule.
