Chelsea's Delap Out Until December Due to Hamstring Injury, Guiu Recalled

Chelsea striker Liam Delap is set to be sidelined until December due to a hamstring injury sustained during the international break. Delap, who joined Chelsea from Ipswich in June, is expected to be out for 10-12 weeks.

The Blues are hopeful he could return in November, providing a boost for the busy festive period. Delap's injury led to Chelsea recalling Marc Guiu from Sunderland to provide cover.

Meanwhile, forward Cole Palmer is pushing for a return as Chelsea prepares to face Brentford. Delap, who was Ipswich's leading scorer last season, has played 37 times in the Premier League.

The injury poses a challenge for Chelsea's attacking options in the upcoming matches.
