Chelsea fans are eagerly awaiting the return of their Premier League matches, as they will gain a better understanding of the extent of Liam Delap's injury. The young striker has pulled his hamstring, leaving Chelsea with only one striker in their ranks.

This injury comes at a crucial time for Chelsea, as they have recently celebrated their success in the Club World Cup. However, this triumph could have a negative impact on their 2025-26 season, as they may struggle to maintain their form without a key player like Delap.

The injury has also caused a ripple effect in Chelsea's loan deals. Initially, the club had withdrawn permission for Nicolas Jackson's loan to Bayern Munich due to Delap's injury. However, a new agreement was reached, with the loan fee increasing slightly from 15 to 16.5 million euros, and Jackson agreeing to a five-year contract with Bayern.

The international break is upon us, with Premier League teams breaking for a fortnight after this weekend's fixtures. During this time, Chelsea cannot afford to lose another team-mate, as they are already short-staffed up front. Pedro's fitness will be crucial in the coming months.

It remains uncertain if Chelsea will try and sign injury cover, keep Nicolas Jackson, or gamble on Pedro staying fit. The club will have to make a decision soon, as the start of the new season is fast approaching.

Stay tuned for more updates on Chelsea's squad and their preparations for the 2025-26 season.
