Est. Return 2/21/2026
Set to feature in U21 game
Lavia (quadriceps) is expected to play for the Under-21 squad Friday while he works on his return from injury, Peter Rutzler of Times Sport reports.
ANALYSIS
Lavia has been back in training for over a week now and could be close to rejoining the first team, but will first get some practice with the youth side after being sidelined since November. He may not play a huge role for the remainder of the season but should add depth behind Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos at some point.

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.
