In the 32nd minute of the match at Vitality Stadium, Liam Delap suffered an injury and was forced to leave the field to make way for Marc Guiu. The former Ipswich striker was forced to sit out again despite only recovering from a hamstring injury at the end of October.
Last summer, Chelsea struggled to beat Man Utd to sign Delap for nearly 40 million euros. So far, the 2003-born striker's only mark has been a goal against Barcelona in the Champions League. After 8 appearances in the Premier League, the 35.5 million euro contract has yet to make any contribution. On social networks, many fans of the West London team mentioned the "curse" of the number 9 shirt at Stamford Bridge, when players wearing this number all played unsuccessfully.

Delap injured again. |
On the day Delap was injured, Chelsea had a disappointing match when they were held to a 0-0 draw by Bournemouth. Despite extending their unbeaten away streak to 7, "The Blues" still made it difficult for themselves in the championship race as they are still 8 points behind Arsenal.
Bournemouth entered the match on a poor run of form (5 games without a win) but started the game with great enthusiasm. After just 4 minutes, Antoine Semenyo seemed to have opened the scoring, but the goal was disallowed by VAR due to Evanilson's offside. The home team's constant pressure made Chelsea's defense falter, while the attack played in disarray.
Chelsea improved significantly in the second half thanks to Alejandro Garnacho's efforts, but still lacked the sharpness to penetrate Petrovic's goal. On the contrary, Bournemouth continued to counter-attack dangerously and almost scored if it weren't for an excellent save from Robert Sanchez.
