Chelsea striker crisis have deepened as Marc Guiu faces months on the sidelines.

Super Eagles legend Mikel Obi reacts to Willian’s return to play alongside Iwobi, Bassey at Fulham
Former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel has reacted to Fulham's decision to re-sign Willian on social media.
"Marc Guiu, unfortunately, it's a bad injury. Could be [long-term], yeah. We are still waiting, but it doesn't look like a short injury. It's a long injury. Probably weeks or months," Maresca said on Friday.
The news is a big blow to Chelsea, who had high hopes for Guiu's development this season. The teenager, signed from Barcelona last summer, had impressed in the Conference League and was earmarked for a more prominent role in the second half of the campaign.
To compound Chelsea's striker shortage, Nicolas Jackson is also a major doubt for Saturday's FA Cup tie against Brighton due to a hamstring problem.
