Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that midfielder Romeo Lavia, currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, is expected to return after the international break, a boost that could help stabilize the Blues’ midfield.
Chelsea’s midfield is poised for reinforcement as manager Enzo Maresca revealed that Romeo Lavia is in the process of returning to the squad after suffering from a hamstring injury. Lavia, who has been absent from the last three Premier League matches, is being compared to Nicolas Jackson, whose injury status was also reassessed recently. Maresca expressed optimism that both Jackson and Lavia will be available after the international break in March.
This return is seen as crucial for Chelsea, especially as the team is struggling to maintain consistency in midfield following Lavia’s absence, which has contributed to a dip in their league form. With important fixtures on the horizon—including a trip to Brighton—Lavia’s comeback is expected to inject much-needed stability and creativity into the team as they aim for a top-four finish and potential success in the Conference League.
