Out rest of season Lavia will miss the rest of the season after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury.

Impact Lavia went 32 minutes in his club debut in late December and unfortunately suffered another injury which is costing him the rest of the season. Things didn't go to plan for him at Chelsea, but now he'll have the time and won't need to push a return to the pitch, assuming he can get back to 100 percent in time for preseason. No matter, when given the hefty contract back in August, it wasn't in the plans for him to appear just once because of injury.

Impact Lavia's debut season has been dreadful and isn't showing many signs of getting better. The Carabao Cup final comes at the end of February, but even if Lavia is fit to return he likely won't displace Moises Caicedo or Enzo Ferandez in defensive midfield. Lavia has made just a single Premier League appearance for Chelsea.

Impact Lavia has had an injury-riddled start to his career at Chelsea, and he's been limited to just one substitute appearance in the league play -- he logged 32 minutes against Crystal Palace on Dec. 27 but picked up another injury in the process. His next chance to play will come against Fulham on Jan. 13, but don't be surprised if he misses more games, as Chelsea are likely to be extremely cautious with him going forward.

Out against Luton Lavia (thigh) didn't make the game-day squad list for Saturday's match versus Luton.

Impact Lavia picked up a thigh problem and will miss at least one game because of it. He'll have a couple of weeks to shake it off ahead of the next fixture on January 13. He logged his first appearances last week. Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher are manning the midfield in this one, while Enzo Fernandez is on the bench.

Impact Lavia may be heading towards more time on the sidelines, having picked up an injury in his thigh during his season debut against Crystal Palace and now being questionable for the club's match against Luton Town. The club and player will hope for the best and that the knock is only minor, as the midfielder can be a great player when healthy but has only been able to compete once all season. If he is selected for the squad Saturday, expect him to end up on the bench once again, but if not, hope for the player to have a speedy recovery and return after the first stages of the winter break for a match on Jan. 13 against Fulham.

Impact It took Lavia forever to get on the pitch because of an ankle injury and it looks like he picked up a new issue in his league debut for Chelsea. The hope is that it's only minor, but given his time on the sideline the first half of the season, any new injury will not be what Chelsea were hoping for when they signed him on a big deal.

Makes full debut Lavia came off the bench and made his Chelsea debut during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Lavia finally recovered from a serious ankle injury to come off the bench during Wednesday's win. The holding midfielder didn't accomplish too much but it was still a positive to see him back out on the pitch. With so many options in midfield there's no guarantee he slots into any sort of starting role straight away, but it's still a good turn of Lavia to return.

Available for club debut Lavia (ankle) is among the substitutes for Sunday's match against Wolves.

Impact Lavia returns from an ankle injury which has prevented him from playing yet this season. The midfielder is available for his club debut if called on from the bench Sunday.

Doubtful for Sunday Lavia (ankle) is not fully fit yet and is expected to be a late call for Sunday's match versus the Wolves, per manager Mauricio Pochettino. "Lavia is similar to Nkunku, when he arr...

Impact Lavia is still working his way back to fitness and is not expected to rush into the squad. He is still looking to make his season debut for Chelsea, missing the first four months of the season with an ankle injury. It will also take the midfielder time once healthy to be considered a starting player, though has a good chance after starting 26 of the 29 games for Southampton in the Premier League during the 2022/23 campaign.

Involved in partial team training Lavia (ankle) was involved in partial team training Monday but is still not yet ready for a return, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino. "Lavia no, he's still not ready."

Impact Lavia continues to progress on his rehabilitation, returning to partial team training, but is still not ready for a return, as he looks to be sidelined for another couple of matches. It is difficult to say if the midfielder will return before the new year with only three contests until then, but it is most likely the team will not rush the player back after such a long absence. If he does return within those three matches, expect him to only be a bench option, as he is given some minutes to test his leg after such a serious knock.

Impact Lavia will have to wait another match before trying a return, as he is still not fit enough for a return. There is still a decent chance the midfielder returns to action by the weekend against Everton, but they will not want to rush him back after such a long absence. If he does get the nod against Everton, he will most likely end up on the bench in his first match back, having to work his way in before getting time in the starting XI.

Impact Lavia has been in some kind of training for the last few weeks, but he's still not ready to give it a go on his ankle. Fortunately for Chelsea, he's not needed in the squad and his minutes are far from guaranteed even when healthy. Youngster Lesley Ugochukwu even got the start last match for Moises Caicedo and Lavia is expected to be in that midfield mix.

Unavailable against Newcastle Lavia (ankle) is out for Saturday's clash with Newcastle, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino. 'Lavia and Nkunku are still out. There is no timeframe for them"

Impact Lavia is still out, as he continues to recover from an ankle issue. There was some hope he would be able to return after the international break but it appears that isn't the case for Lavia, who will now push his recovery back until after the break. Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher will continue in the starting XI with Lavia sidelined.

Impact Lavia's injury won't see him back before the break but it seems possible the midfielder could return immediately after the break. Getting Lavia back would be a major boon ahead of a busy December schedule, as the midfielder should offer another rotation option in defensive midfield.

Impact Lavia's move to Chelsea is off to the worst possible start as it appears the ankle injury he suffered it set to be a long one. The midfielder still isn't even running and could face multiple weeks on the sideline after the international break. Until Lavia is back training in some capacity he is best considered out indefinitely.

Month out expected Lavia (ankle) is expected to miss more than a month due to an ankle injury, football.london reports.

Impact Lavia suffered the injury early in the international break during a training session. The injury proved to be less serious than originally feared with Lavia expected to return in 2023, though it remains to be seen what sort of role he will play in the first team with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo both ahead of Lavia on the depth chart.

Suffers ankle injury with Belgium Lavia suffered an ankle injury training with Belgium and could be out an extended period, reports Evening Standard.

Impact Lavia was still working on his fitness after joining Chelsea a couple weeks ago and now an ankle injury is set to delay his debut even further. He'll undergo some tests back with his club, but the early reports are that he'll be out more than a couple weeks. Fortunately for Chelsea, they still have plenty of depth in their midfield.

Training partially Lavia (fitness) only took part in partial team training and is out for Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest, according to the Chelsea injury report.

Impact Lavia is not going to make his Chelsea debut until after the international break. The big money defensive midfielder is still building up his match fitness and is only in partial team training. Still the break should give him plenty of time to integrate into the first team.

Impact Lavia is still some time away from building up fitness, therefore will not be an option for Chelsea for the time being. With Moises Caicedo ready to start, the 19-year-old could start on the bench once he is ready to play, following a season where he made 26 starts in 29 appearances with Southampton in the Premier League.

Big-spending Chelsea signs midfielder Romeo Lavia on transfer from Southampton

Chelsea has completed the signing of 19-year-old defensive midfielder Romeo Lavia from Southampton after agreeing to a reported transfer fee of $74 million

AUGUST 18, 2023 • Associated Press

Completes Chelsea move Lavia has completed a move to Chelsea from Southampton and signed a seven-year contract.

Impact Lavia is back in the Premier League after making an immediate impact at Southampton last season, starting in 26 matches as an 18-year-old. The question for him this season is where he fits in the lineup because without European competition, Chelsea don't have that many matches, though they now have three midfielders who lean on the defensive side in Lavia, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
