Chelsea’s young starlet, Romeo Lavia, faces a prolonged absence from the pitch, potentially until November, due to an unfortunate training ground injury. The 19-year-old, acquired by Chelsea for a hefty £58 million during the summer transfer window, sustained an ankle injury during a training session last week.
After undergoing a scan, preliminary findings suggest that Lavia has suffered ligament damage.
This news comes as a significant setback for Chelsea, who were eager to witness their promising new signing in action. Fans have been anxiously waiting to see Lavia on the field, but it seems they will have to wait a bit longer.
With crucial Premier League fixtures ahead, including clashes with Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Fulham, and Burnley, Chelsea will miss Lavia’s potential contributions.
However, there is hope that he might return to contention after the October international break when Chelsea faces Arsenal and Brentford.
Despite this setback, Chelsea remains determined to make the most of their investment in Lavia, aiming for a strong performance in the upcoming months. Fans will be eagerly watching for updates on Lavia’s recovery as they look forward to his eventual debut for the club.
