Chelsea won this Saturday in the Premier League against Fulham, but lost one of her flagship recruits on injury. Faced with Fulham (2-0), the Blues relied on stopped kicks to win thanks to Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez. But from the 15th minute, Liam Delap, tenure in point, had to leave his partners, hit in the thigh after a deep race. In the absence of another number 9 of trade on the bench, it was the young Tyrique George who took over, binding Enzo Maresca to modify his offensive animation.
The Italian coach confirmed the bad news after the meeting: “Liam Delap should be absent between 6 and 8 weeks due to this type of injury”he explained to TNT SPORTS. Arrived this summer from Ipswich, the 22 -year -old English striker will therefore miss an important part of the start of the season, even though he was to embody a new solution at the forefront of the London attack.
