Belgian midfielder Roméo Lavia was absent from the Chelsea squad in their latest match after experiencing a physical issue during his debut against Crystal Palace. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that Lavia “felt something” which led to the decision to not include him in the team lineup.
Lavia, who plays in the Premier League for Chelsea, had recently made his first appearance for the club. The nature of his discomfort has not been detailed, but it was significant enough to warrant caution from the coaching staff. The young midfielder’s condition will be monitored closely by Chelsea’s medical team to determine his availability for upcoming fixtures.
