Chelsea was hit by a massive injury as Liam Dellup, who has been on the sidelines for weeks due to injuries.
The summer signature received an injury to Fulham during the 2-0 victory, and Enzo Maresca confirmed that the players will be on the sidelines for the next six to eight weeks.
Chelsea approved Nicholas Jackson exit
Chelsea recently approved Nicholas Jackson’s departure, which was loaned to Bayern Munich just hours ago. Delap’s injuries have made the situation worse, and Bruce appears to suffer from a lack of depth in his attack. They must rely on Joao Pedro to lead the line for the next few months.
Jackson had to move on to play regularly as he had fallen on a pecking order after the two strikers arrived. However, the transfer decision now appears to be a major mistake.
Can Chelsea withstand the blows of Delap’s injuries?
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can handle just one striker in the coming months. They hope to fight for a massive trophy this season, and Dellup’s injuries could have a decisive effect.
Chelsea had an impressive campaign last time, winning the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. They are expected to compete for the league title this season. You need options at your disposal to compete with elite clubs. While there is no doubt that Pedro is a quality player, relying on him as the only striker for the next two months will certainly be a source of concern.
