Delap sustained an injury after a collision with center-back Senesi. The shoulder injury forced the English player to leave the field at the end of the first half.
According to media reports from the UK, Liam Delap has dislocated his shoulder and will be out of action for about two months.
Prior to this, the new signing from Ipswich had also been sidelined for a long period due to a hamstring injury and only returned at the end of October.
After the away match at Vitality Stadium, coach Enzo Maresca admitted: "Unfortunately, Delap will have to be out of action for some time longer."
We don't know how long it will take, but his role is pretty bad. Delap is really unlucky, because Chelsea are in need of a quality center forward."
Since joining The Blues for a fee of £30 million, Liam Delap has only scored two goals and has yet to find the net in the Premier League.
Football fans believe that Delap seems to be the next victim of the "number 9 curse" at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea's forwards have been disappointing recently.
In the absence of a reliable striker, coach Maresca is forced to frequently push Joao Pedro up to play as the furthest forward. Young talent Marc Guiu will also have more opportunities to gain experience.
