On Friday, October 24, 2025, Chelsea Football Club manager Enzo Maresca made an unprecedented announcement. Liam Delap is on course to return from his hamstring injury in the next week. Indeed, new manager Enzo Maresca confirmed today that Marc Guiu would likely be making his first start against Sunderland on Saturday. This development comes as Delap has been ruled out of today’s match.
Liam Delap, the whipping boy for Chelsea, is still injured. Unfortunately, a cursed hamstring injury bug has kept him down for the count this season, batting on and off through the team’s campaign to Super Regionals and beyond. On a more positive injury note, Maresca confirmed that Delap is well on the road to recovery and should be rejoining the team in the near future.
As indicated by the statement from Maresca referenced above, “Liam has made incredible progress in his recovery. We’re hopeful that he’ll be ready to go in the week ahead.
As for now, with Delap still out, Marc Guiu is poised to make his first start against Sunderland. Guiu’s former stint at Sunderland could give him extra impetus to want to do well in this contest. The young Chelsea forward is still working hard to claim his place in the starting lineup. He’ll have the opportunity to dazzle in front of his new home fanbase against the team he used to play for.
“Marc has come a long way and his work ethic is undeniable,” Maresca said. He is open to the idea of starting and making a big impact as we go up against Sunderland.”
