Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Roméo Lavia is fit and ready to return to action. The 20-year-old midfielder, who joined Chelsea from Southampton, has been sidelined due to injury but is now prepared to rejoin the squad. Lavia, known for his defensive capabilities and ball distribution, is expected to bolster Chelsea’s midfield options.
Recent Injury Updates
Maresca has been dealing with several injury concerns within the team. Recently, he discussed the challenges faced by Reece James, who is currently dealing with a short-term injury. Despite these setbacks, Maresca expressed satisfaction with James’ progress earlier this month.
Impact on Chelsea’s Squad
Lavia’s return comes at a crucial time for Chelsea, as they navigate through a series of matches with key players like Jadon Sancho also missing games due to injuries. The addition of Lavia provides Maresca with more flexibility in midfield, potentially easing the pressure on the squad as they aim to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
