Chelsea striker Liam Delap may be out for weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham, manager Enzo Maresca said.

Delap went down clutching his thigh 13 minutes into the home game and walked straight into the tunnel after the medics had looked at it.

Three key Chelsea players have now suffered injuries this month, with attacker Cole Palmer also absent due to a groin injury and centre back Levi Colwill ruled out for most of the season with a cruciate ligament tear.

"Injury doesn't look good. He was full speed, hamstring, so that requires weeks," Maresca told a press conference.
