But really, there\u2019s no \u201cgood\u201d news here, just levels of bad. Obviously, it could\u2019ve been worse \u2014 we just learned that D\u00e1rio Essugo will be out for months after his hamstring surgery, for example \u2014 but Delap is still set to miss a solid chunk of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6587974\/2025\/09\/09\/liam-delap-injury-update-chelsea\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Athletic<\/a>, the young striker probably won\u2019t be back until after the November international break. Chelsea return to action from that break with a trip to Brentford Burnley on November 22, before facing Barcelona in the Champions League and Arsenal in the league at the Bridge in quick succession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Thankfully we were able to recall Marc Guiu from his loan in the final hours of the transfer window to help cover for Delap. Looks like he\u2019ll have plenty of opportunities to impress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The good news is that Liam Delap does not need surgery on his hamstring.
