Liam Delap is set to travel to Wolverhampton for Chelsea’s Carabao Cup fourth-round clash with Enzo Maresca saying his striker is ready to appear for the first time since August.
It would be a surprise to see Delap start the cup tie but his availability is a welcome boost for Maresca after two months on the sidelines because of a hamstring injury.
Chelsea may allow several players to skip this trip, with Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Joao Pedro among those who have struggled with fitness issue of late.
