Maresca provides update on Delap’s condition and his injury

Liam Delap joined Chelsea but has already suffered his second major injury — an unwelcome development for the club. Now the London side’s manager has offered an update.

Details: At his pre-match press conference, Italian coach Enzo Maresca said he still does not know how long Delap will be sidelined. However, it is known that Wesley Fofana is fully fit.

Quote: “We still don’t know how long he will be out. It could be two, three, four weeks. We’re not sure yet. Wesley Fofana is available,” Maresca said.

In their next Premier League match, Chelsea will face Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, 13 December, at 16:00 CET.

The Chelsea manager also confirmed that Cole Palmer is fine. His latest training session left him with mixed feelings, but overall he is feeling well.

Reminder: The Premier League earlier announced that 45-year-old Italian Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca was named Premier League Manager of the Month for November.
