Chelsea’s beleaguered midfielder, Romeo Lavia, faces a devastating blow as the Blues confirm his season-ending injury setback, announced Wednesday. The 20-year-old Belgian prodigy, who endured a challenging debut against Crystal Palace in December, has been sidelined since suffering a thigh injury during the match.
In a somber statement, reported by YEPS, Chelsea revealed, “Midfielder Romeo Lavia will unfortunately miss the remainder of our 2023-24 campaign following a setback in his recovery.” This setback marks another setback in Lavia’s tumultuous journey at Stamford Bridge, having previously battled an ankle injury that sidelined him for the first half of the season.
Lavia’s absence deals a significant blow to Chelsea’s midfield depth, as they brace for their upcoming clash against Burnley at Stamford Bridge in Match Week 29. Despite sitting at the 11th spot on the Premier League table, the Blues are determined to overcome their challenges and rally for a strong finish to the season.
