Midfielder Roméo Lavia Back in Training
Belgian midfielder Roméo Lavia has rejoined the Chelsea squad after recovering from a lengthy injury. This marks his first return to the team since his transfer to the Premier League club. Lavia’s move to Chelsea in the summer was a significant deal, costing the club £53 million with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons.
Chelsea’s manager Mauricio Pochettino provided an update on Lavia’s condition, indicating that while the player is progressing well, he will require more time before he is match-ready. Pochettino drew parallels between Lavia’s situation and that of another player, Nkunku, suggesting a cautious approach to Lavia’s return to full fitness.
Roméo Lavia, a central midfielder known for his technical skills and game intelligence, is expected to bolster Chelsea’s midfield options once he is fully fit. His integration into the squad is anticipated with interest as the team looks to benefit from his abilities on the pitch.
