LONDON (Reuters) -Chelsea forward Liam Delap's hamstring injury is worse than initially feared and could keep him out until December, manager Enzo Maresca said on Friday ahead of his side's Premier League clash away at London rivals Brentford.

Delap, who joined from Ipswich Town for 30 million pounds ($41 million) in June, was injured against Fulham before the international break and initially it was expected he would miss six to eight weeks.
