Lavia Not Ready, Nkunku May Play Minutes
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update on the fitness of his players ahead of their upcoming fixture. Pochettino confirmed that Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia is not yet fit to return to the pitch. However, there is positive news regarding Christopher Nkunku, who has trained well and could be in line for some playing time in the team’s next match.
Reece James’ Surgery Uncertain
The situation concerning Reece James remains uncertain, as Pochettino indicated that a decision on whether the player will require surgery has not been made. The club will assess the options in the coming days to determine the best course of action for James’ recovery.
Romeo Lavia, who is contracted with Chelsea and competes in the Premier League, is a midfielder hailing from Belgium. His current unavailability is a point of consideration for the team’s strategy in the near term. Meanwhile, the potential involvement of Nkunku, who has shown promising signs in training, could provide a boost for the squad in their next game.
