It looks like Chelsea are going to be without striker Liam Delap once again after he came off injured in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Bournemouth.

In what looks to be a dislocated shoulder for the unlucky Delap, first reports on this are suggesting he could be out for 6-8 weeks.

As of first thing on Monday morning (6.30am), I’ve heard that Chelsea are waiting the full report on how long they are expecting Delap to be out for.

However, SPTC Sources have also heard that internal talks have already been held regarding potentially bringing in another striker in the January window.
