Chelsea are weighing up a move for talented youngster playing in the Championship

Injury Update: Chelsea star Romeo Lavia absence against Luton Town explained

In the aftermath of Chelsea’s game against Crystal Palace, boss Mauricio Pochettino discussed how a knock to Romeo Lavia saw him make a few tweaks to the way Chelsea were playing. Lavia made his first appearance for Chelsea after joining the club from Southampton over the summer transfer window.

Issues related to match fitness and other complications meant Lavia could not feature earlier than he did. However, in his small cameo off the bench against the Eagles, he showcased his prowess in the middle of the park before falling to the ground due to a thigh issue.

Even though he completed the game, the issue was serious enough for the manager to intervene and he spoke about the same to the press as well. Whether or not Lavia could miss the trip to Luton was a question that now stands answered. He was not a part of the squad that beat Luton Town 3-2 away from home.

Chelsea fans, eager to witness the young talent’s continued development, will anxiously await updates on Lavia’s injury status. The hope remains that the setback is a minor one, allowing him to return to action promptly and contribute to Chelsea’s campaign.

As the team strives for consistency, Pochettino faces the task of managing the squad’s fitness and addressing injuries to key players. The absence of Lavia against Luton Town serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the challenges managers encounter in maintaining a balanced and competitive squad.

Lavia’s resilience and determination to overcome this setback will be crucial as he aims to resume his promising journey at Stamford Bridge. Let’s hope he is fit enough to start against Preston in the FA Cup on the 6th of January.
