Chelsea’s midfielder Romeo Lavia, 20, will miss the remainder of the season due to ongoing injury issues. The young talent arrived at Stamford Bridge from Southampton last summer for a significant fee of £58 million. However, his time at Chelsea has been marred by injuries, limiting him to just one appearance this season.

Lavia made his sole appearance as a substitute against Crystal Palace in December but suffered a thigh injury shortly after returning from an ankle problem. This setback has prevented him from featuring further, leaving him with only 32 minutes of playing time for Chelsea. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed disappointment over Lavia’s absence, citing it as a factor in the team’s inability to play a more aggressive style.

Pochettino highlighted Lavia’s injury along with others as limiting the team’s midfield options and forcing players like Conor Gallagher to cover excessive distances. Despite his limited playing time at Chelsea, Lavia impressed during his time at Southampton last season, making 35 appearances in all competitions. His absence will be a blow for Chelsea as they enter the crucial stage of the season.
