Romeo Lavia is expected to be out for a minimum of one month after sustaining a quadriceps injury during Chelsea’s match against Qarabag.
Romeo Lavia will be unavailable for at least four weeks after suffering a quadriceps injury in Chelsea’s recent game against Qarabag. The midfielder was forced to leave the pitch after picking up the issue in the second half.
The injury is another setback for the Belgian, who has endured an interrupted spell due to fitness problems since joining Chelsea in 2023. Lavia is now undergoing treatment and a recovery plan has been put in place.
The timeline for his return could depend on his progress in the coming weeks. His absence will be felt in midfield as Chelsea navigate a demanding run of fixtures.
Enzo Maresca will look to other options in the squad to fill the gap left by the 22-year-old. Further information regarding Lavia’s condition is expected once the club assesses his recovery over the next month.
