Although it cost Chelsea a large transfer fee, the day Romeo Lavia debuts for his new team will be very far away after his latest injury.Liverpool and Chelsea once competed fiercely for Romeo Lavia’s signature. Ultimately, the Belgian midfielder chose to join the London team. The above deal cost the Blues over 53 million pounds.
Even though they spent a lot of money recruiting Lavia, Chelsea fans still haven’t been able to see this player play for the team. As soon as he arrived at Chelsea, the Belgian midfielder had physical problems and had to practice separately.
Initially, Lavia was scheduled to make its debut for the new team on September 17, when the Premier League returned after the national team gathering. But it is likely that the day this midfielder officially plays for Chelsea will have to be postponed after the above date due to his latest injury.
It is known that Lavia was injured after the most recent training session with Chelsea. The extent of Lavia’s injury is unknown, but there is a high possibility that the midfielder has a torn ankle muscle. Lavia could not complete the training session and had to leave early.
This is bad news for Chelsea as this team’s injury list is getting longer and longer. Currently, the Blues are struggling with “illness cases” of Reece James, Fofana or Nkunku. Coach Pochettino will have to find a way to manage Chelsea’s upcoming matches. He has no shortage of options in midfield, but the names that Chelsea owns probably need more time to bond with each other.
