Delap (hamstring) is expected to be out for 10 to 12 weeks, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. "Liam is around 10-12 weeks, so a long way to go."

Palmer (groin) trained for the first time Thursday and will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Brentford, coach Enzo Maresca said in a press conference, according to Football London. "Cole took part in the session yesterday for the first time, not the entire session. We have one more session this afternoon and we are going to try with him to see if he's okay, otherwise he will be out tomorrow. He is recovering from an injury, it's not managing him, it's recovering from an injury. When he is available, we need to manage him because of the amount of games."

Essugo could be ruled out for a minimum of 12 weeks after undergoing surgery on a thigh injury, meaning he may not be available for selection until 2026, according to The Athletic.

Delap has avoided surgery on his hamstring and is expected to resume training in November, according to David Ornstein and Simon Johnson of The Athletic.

Essugo has undergone successful surgery today on his thigh, the club announced.
