The striker signed for the London club from a relegated Ipswich Town side in the summer for a fee in the region of £30 million.
He has so far made just 10 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions and scored one goal, but he's also missed 10 games in total with a hamstring problem.
Delap was in the starting lineup this afternoon away at Bournemouth, but lasted just half an hour before he was forced off with a shoulder injury.
Marc Guiu came on in his place as Chelsea continued their search for an opening goal at the Vitality Stadium.

He joins their current injury list, which consists of Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, and Dário Essugo.
