Delap was tussling with Bournemouth center back Marcos Senesi in the penalty box and both fell to the floor.
The Chelsea forward landed awkwardly on his shoulder and needed treatment on his right arm. He was subbed off right away for Marc Guiu, with Delap’s arm put in a makeshift sling to support the injury.
And the latest update from his manager Enzo Maresca does not sound good.

“It looks bad,” Maresca told BBC Match of the Day after the game. “Unfortunately it looks bad. It is his shoulder. We will see now in the next 48 hours... Two months out for the previous injury, hopefully it is not so long, but it looks bad. We will see.”
Chelsea’s young forward can’t catch a break with injuries this season as he suffered a hamstring issue in August which has badly impacted his first few months at Stamford Bridge.
Delap has yet to get going as a Chelsea player and this injury won’t help.
