Chelsea manager Mouricio Pochettino broke down in tears as Star player who returned back from injury has been ruled for the rest of the season due to Hamstring injury obtained in training
Romeo Lavia has expressed his “frustration” after having his debut season at Chelsea derailed by injury.
The 20-year-old, who only played 32 minutes after signing for £53 million in the summer, will miss the rest of the season due to a thigh injury.
Chelsea confirmed the diagnosis on Wednesday, shortly after which Lavia issued a statement on social media.
“As you may know, despite my countless efforts, I will be missing the remainder of the season” he stated in an email.
“It’s been a terrible season not being able to aid my teammates.
“I love this squad, this badge, and being on the pitch more than anything else. Trust that I have given my all every day to be back.
“Thank you for your love, support, and criticism; they all have a great impact on me and help me keep going. I can’t wait to give it back and spend many beautiful moments with you. “See you soon.”
Lavia struggled with match fitness after joining from Southampton last summer, before being sidelined by an ankle injury.
His return against Crystal Palace in late December saw him play for only half an hour before suffering a thigh injury, adding his name to a long list of missed players for Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea this season.
