Romeo Lavia
21-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
OUT
Injury Strain
Est. Return 10/18/2025
Not available yet
Lavia (strain) trained partially with the team on Sunday but isn't yet available, coach Enzo Maresca said in a press conference, according to Football London. "He is not back yet. He took part in the session yesterday which is good news, but we wait for him."
ANALYSIS
Lavia has missed the beginning of the season due to the injury he suffered against Benfica in the Club World Cup during the summer. The midfielder is however progressing well in his rehabilitation after being spotted training partially with the team on Sunday. That said, he remains unavailable for the time being without a precise timeline to return. Lavia is expected to hold a depth role in the midfield under coach Enzo Maresca, so his absence does not affect the starting XI.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea doubting over him
Chelsea are ready to make a move for Kobbie Mainoo due to the growing doubts regarding Lavia's fitness, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Lavia has struggled to stay healthy all season long, and the midfielder might be ready to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer. Lavia could also go out on loan, but a permanent transfer is not out of the question, especially if Chelsea end up signing a replacement like Kobbie Mainoo.
