Chelsea’s decision comes after Delap suffered a hamstring injury during the 2-0 win against Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

When asked about the extent of Delap’s injury, Enzo Maresca said after his side’s win: ‘Liam Delap is expected to be out for six to eight weeks because of this type of injury.

‘Liam’s injury doesn’t look good, it was a full-speed hamstring, that will require weeks.

‘In terms of another striker, we will see if we take any decisions.’
