Chelsea have received a major boost ahead of their Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers, as young striker Liam Delap has returned to the squad after recovering from a two-month injury layoff. The Blues confirmed the news earlier today, bringing a wave of optimism to Stamford Bridge as Enzo Maresca continues to navigate through a challenging first season in charge.
Delap, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City during the summer window, had been sidelined since late August due to a muscle injury. His absence left Maresca with limited options up front, relying heavily on Nicolas Jackson to lead the attack. Now, with the 21-year-old English forward fit and available again, Chelsea will have more flexibility in their attacking setup.
Though it remains uncertain whether he will start or make an appearance off the bench, sources close to the team suggest Maresca is keen to ease him back into action gradually.
Delap impressed during pre-season and showed flashes of promise before his injury, offering pace, power, and a strong physical presence in the final third. His return could be crucial for Chelsea as they look to bounce back from recent inconsistent performances and climb up the Premier League table.
Fans will be eager to see the young striker back in action, hoping he can add a new dimension to Maresca’s attacking plans. Whether he starts or comes on as a substitute, Delap’s comeback marks a positive development for Chelsea’s campaign as they prepare to face a determined Wolves side at Molineux on Saturday.
