Overview
- Delap was hurt in a corner duel with Marcos Senesi, an incident checked by VAR that resulted in no penalty.
- He left in clear pain using his shirt as a sling and was substituted for Marc Guiu around the 32nd minute.
- Maresca said the club does not yet know the absence length and described the shoulder as looking “quite bad.”
- The 22-year-old already missed roughly two months with a hamstring/groin problem after his summer move from Ipswich and has one goal this season in the Champions League.
- Chelsea will lean on Guiu, Joao Pedro and adaptable wide options as they face Atalanta on Tuesday before hosting Everton.
