Chelsea’s Belgian midfielder, Roméo Lavia, has encountered a challenging start at his new club, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino. The player, who recently made the switch from Southampton to Chelsea, has only managed to play 30 minutes for the Premier League side since his arrival.
Pochettino highlighted the difficulties Lavia has faced since joining Chelsea. “Roméo Lavia is sad, it’s a really difficult situation. He’s only played 30 minutes after joining us,” Pochettino stated. The manager further explained the root of Lavia’s limited playtime, attributing it to pre-existing issues from his time at Southampton and subsequent problems. “When the club signed him, he arrived with problems from Southampton, and then when he was ready, he suffered a problem in his feet,” Pochettino added.
