Opportunity for Arsenal to go top of the table as another vital Chelsea Fc player have been hit with serious injury while on Training
Chelsea’s new £58m signing, Romeo Lavia, has just suffered an injury during training, reports say.
Sacha Tavolieri, a journalist for the club’s official website, wrote on Twitter that Lavia had “taken a nasty blow” and could be out for a while.
“I think it’s safe to say that Lavia has torn a ligament in his leg,” Tavolieri added. “It’s hard to see him coming back any time soon.”
Lavia has yet to play for Chelsea since coming from Southampton at the conclusion of the January transfer window, and he has not even been included to their matchday squad. He has only been seen in the stands for the club’s first home game of the season, a 0-0 draw with West Bromwich Albion.
Tavolieri reported that Lavia stayed at Stamford Bridge throughout the international break with the purpose of “getting up to speed” and being ready to play for the first team when they returned.
Injuries to Lavia during training
This plan, however, appears to have taken a step backwards as he appears to have suffered a setback in training.
Tavolieri has claimed that he has picked up an injury, hinting it could be a tear in a muscle.
He said: “Romeo Lavia just got injured at training session today with Chelsea. Could be a muscle tear at the ankle… More to follow.”
Supporters will have been excited to see the trio of Lavia, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez all feature together at some stage soon.
However, it looks as if that midfield is going to have to wait for some time yet.
