Coach Enzo Maresca's headache began in a 2-0 victory over Fulham over the weekend, when Delap had to leave the field after only 15 minutes with a ribbed injury. Initially, Chelsea was informed that the British striker would have to take 6-8 weeks off, but according to The Telegraph, the situation may be more serious and the risk of long-term absence could not be excluded.
The trouble of trouble, when the Nicolas Jackson deal to Bayern Munich suddenly broke. The Senegal striker has almost completed the 15 million euro borrowing contract with a bought of 80 million euros in the next summer. He was even in Germany for medical examination. However, after receiving the evil news about Delap, Chelsea immediately recovered the command to allow Jackson to sign. The 24 -year -old striker was determined not to return to London, hoping Bayern would convince the Blues to release. But in the end, it was the “Gray Lobster” withdrawing, causing the deal to break on Sunday.
The future of Jackson in Stamford Bridge now becomes precarious, when Maresca did not put him in the plan for the 2025/26 season. Joao Pedro with the booming form continues to be the number one spearhead in the attack. Guiu's return is more likely to help teenage players become a backup plan for Pedro, while Jackson fell to the number three options in the center.
Chelsea is clearly facing the difficulties in personnel, and the answer to the problem of the attack under Maresca will soon be revealed in the coming weeks.
