CurrentReport Blog Chelsea FC has been hit with a significant injury setback ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday. Midfielder Romeo Lavia, who joined the Blues from Southampton in the summer of 2023, will miss the highly anticipated match at Stamford Bridge due to an injury.
In his pre-match press conference, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Lavia, who had shown signs of progress in his recovery, experienced a setback during training just days before the Tottenham game. Maresca stated, “He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately, one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.”
The 21-year-old Belgian has been plagued by injury issues since his move to Chelsea, with his development at the club hindered by a series of setbacks. Despite this, the club remains hopeful that he will recover soon, but he will not feature in Thursday’s Premier League showdown.
Lavia’s absence is a blow for Chelsea, as the young midfielder has been a promising addition to the squad. With the team gearing up for a crucial encounter with Spurs, the Blues will need to adapt in his absence as they look to maintain their momentum in the league.
