"Guiu is obviously third choice, and they do like him, they rate him. How much football he's going to see is debatable, though. It depends on the circumstances. They were happy before Delap's injury, and obviously that's just really bad luck, but that's football. It's just one of those things: when one of your big players gets injured, like Delap, you need someone to step in. They think Guiu is there to help."
"How much football he's going to see is debatable, though. It depends on the circumstances. They were happy before Delap's injury, and obviously that's just really bad luck, but that's football. In terms of the striker position, they are happy. They love Pedro and what he's done.

Marc Guiu, a 19-year-old Spain Under-19 striker, was loaned to Sunderland in summer 2025 and was expected to remain there for 2025-26. Chelsea recalled Guiu after Liam Delap suffered an injury, viewing Guiu as third choice but a rated option to help cover the absence. The club accepts that Guiu's playing time is debatable and depends on circumstances, with other forward options available such as Pedro and Estavao, who can play in false positions. Chelsea plan to reassess Guiu's situation in January when Delap should be back and fit.
