Delap Avoids Surgery: Expected Recovery Time for Chelsea Forward Revealed

Chelsea striker Liam Delap has injured his hamstring in the match against Fulham, impacting the club’s transfer strategies. The timeline for his recovery has also been revealed.

Details: As reported by The Athletic, Delap’s injury will not need surgery, and he is expected to be out for about eight weeks. This puts his return to training in mid-November, with a possible comeback to the field shortly after.

Background: Initially, Chelsea canceled Nicolas Jackson’s loan move to Bayern due to Delap’s injury but later managed to bring Marc Guehi back from his loan at Sunderland as an alternative.

Ultimately, the agreement for Jackson was completed on transfer deadline day, including a condition for Bayern to make the transfer permanent.
