A 5,000-mile round trip to Baku in Azerbaijan offers Liam Delap the chance for a proper return to the Chelsea fold, following the briefest of brief comebacks at Molineux last week.
Featuring as a substitution for his first appearance in 61 days after a hamstring injury, Delap was sent off just 25 minutes into his return in last Wednesday’s eventual 4-3 Carabao Cup win at Wolves for collecting two yellow cards in the space of seven minutes.
