ENZO MARESCA WORRIES: LIAM DELAP'S SHOULDER INJURY SIDELINED FOR SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS
Delap's setback leaves Chelsea thin at No. 9. The young striker will use his recovery time to learn Maresca's system, having previously worked with him at Man City.
Liam Delap is set to miss six to eight weeks because of an injury he picked up against Bournemouth. The summer buy from Ipswich Town had to leave early during the 0-0 draw.
The 22-year-old seemed to hurt his shoulder in a collision with Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi. He left the field with his arm in a sling, and Marc Guiu took his place.
Delap, who also had a hamstring injury in the win over Fulham earlier this season, might not be back until February, according to injury predictions. talkSPORT says the ex-Manchester City player will likely be out for about two months.
This is another setback for Delap, who's had a hard time getting consistent playing time since his £30 million move from Portman Road. The England U21 player was starting to find his form when he scored the third goal in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League.
Apart from the Club World Cup, his goal against Barcelona was his first for the UEFA Conference League winners. He's only played in eight Premier League games this season.
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said he was worried about the injury after the game. When asked about Delap, he said, "He was already out for two months, and now he has to be out again." We don't know how long, but it doesn't look good for his shoulder.

Delap's chances at Chelsea have been limited due to injuries, competition, or discipline. A hamstring issue against Fulham kept him out for two months.
His return in October didn't go well when he got two quick yellow cards for challenges on Yerson Mosquera and Emmanuel Agbadou in a Carabao Cup game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Maresca called the incidents very stupid and embarrassing. Delap apologised to his teammates publicly and privately.
While he recovers, Delap can now study what Maresca wants from him on the field. They worked together before in Manchester City's under-21 title-winning team in 2020-21.
Talking about Delap's problems last month, the Chelsea coach said, "Liam is a number nine who needs space to attack." Against teams that sit back, it's harder because there's no space.
The striker was almost a direct replacement for Nicolas Jackson, who went on loan to Bayern Munich. He's also facing competition from Joao Pedro, who also joined in the summer.
Maresca even played Pedro Neto as a striker in the win over Barcelona, even though he had Pedro and Delap available.
DID LIAM ROSENIOR’S PAST AS A PUNDIT INFLUENCE HIS DEFENSIVE STRATEGY AT ARSENAL?
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior hits back at critics after a defensive approach saw the Blues exit the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Liam Rosenior stood by his cautious approach after Chelsea couldn’t overturn their first-leg deficit against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Down 3-2 from the first match, Chelsea never really put Arsenal under pressure at the Emirates. In the end, Kai Havertz—of all people—put the game to bed in stoppage time, scoring against his old club.
Rosenior switched things up, going with a back three and playing it safe. He wanted to keep the game close and try to push hard late on. He brought on Cole Palmer and Estevao around the 60th minute, hoping for a spark, but Chelsea still couldn’t carve out real chances. Arsenal just wouldn’t budge.
Pundits didn’t love Rosenior’s tactics and let him know it. He brushed it off. “I’ve been a pundit. It’s easy. It’s easy in hindsight,” he said. “If I go all-out and press high, we could give away two early goals, and then everyone asks what I’m thinking. That’s just how it is. Lose, and you’re hammered. Win, and you’re a genius. Usually, it’s somewhere in the middle.”
Chelsea were up against the league leaders, and with both Reece James and Pedro Neto missing due to minor injuries, Rosenior planned to hang in there and try to frustrate Arsenal—and maybe turn the mood in the stadium.
“That was the idea. You saw it,” he said. “I thought the psychological side of the tie mattered, and you could feel it in the stadium too. At 60 minutes, I brought on Cole and Estevao, and suddenly we had some moments around the box. I think people sensed this game could flip.”
It didn’t happen, though. Rosenior said he couldn’t fault his players for their effort, and in the end, Arsenal’s clinching goal came while Chelsea were throwing everything forward, desperate to turn things around.
IS JOãO PEDRO ACTUALLY BETTER THAN LIVERPOOL’S £79M HUGO EKITIKé? THE STATS REVEAL ALL
Liam Rosenior makes history as Chelsea win three in a row! Discover why João Pedro is the Premier League's best summer signing.
Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over Chelsea in 2022, they've been anything but quiet in the transfer market. In just three and a half years, they've signed 54 new senior players and spent well over £1 billion.
Some of these signings haven’t even made it onto the pitch for the first team—guys like Gaga Słonina, Ângelo Gabriel, Omari Kellyman, and Caleb Wiley, just to name a few. But others have really made their mark. Think Marc Cucurella, Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández and, of course, Cole Palmer. Now, the question is, has one of Chelsea’s latest summer signings done enough to join that group? Is he about to become one of the Premier League’s signings of the season?
Let’s talk about Chelsea’s summer addition and what he’s bringing to the table. It’s been a great week for Liam Rosenior’s squad. On Saturday night, they were 2-0 down at halftime to West Ham at Stamford Bridge. Somehow, they turned it around and won 3-2, with Enzo Fernández scoring in stoppage time to seal it.
That win made it three league victories in a row for Rosenior. He’s now only the fourth English manager to start his Premier League career with three straight wins—joining Bobby Gould, Sam Allardyce, and Craig Shakespeare. Not bad company at all.
Just three days earlier, Chelsea booked their spot in the Champions League round of 16 after a wild 3-2 win away at Napoli. Down 2-1, João Pedro scored twice in the second half to turn the game around. The Brazilian’s goal at the weekend kicked off Chelsea’s comeback, bringing his total to 15 goals for the club—including three at the Club World Cup. So, how does he stack up against other strikers who switched clubs last summer?
Looking at the numbers, here’s how the new strikers have done since moving in the summer of 2025:
Hugo Ekitiké (Liverpool, £79m): 15 goals (10 PL, 2 UCL)
João Pedro (Chelsea, £60m): 12 goals (9 PL, 3 UCL)
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal, £54.8m): 11 goals (6 PL, 4 UCL)
Nick Woltemade (Man United, £69m): 9 goals (7 PL, 1 UCL)
Benjamin Šeško (Man City, £66.3m): 6 goals (5 PL)
Alexander Isak (Newcastle, £125m): 3 goals (2 PL)
Liam Delap (Spurs, £30m): 2 goals (1 PL, 1 UCL)
Only Ekitiké has scored more than João Pedro across all competitions, but Liverpool paid about £20m more for him than Chelsea paid for Pedro. In the whole Premier League, only Erling Haaland, Igor Thiago, Antoine Semenyo, and Ekitiké have more league goals than Pedro’s nine.
But stats aside, Chelsea just look more dangerous with Pedro leading the attack. Their last league defeat? He started that one on the bench at Craven Cottage. Since Rosenior took over, Pedro has started and scored in every match.
Chelsea have brought in plenty of players from Brighton during the BlueCo era, but with the way things are going, João Pedro might end up being the best of the bunch.
