Mauricio Pochettino was handed a severe setback following Romeo Lavia's training-related injury

• Romeo Lavia's setback is followed by a crucial double blow during the international break for Mauricio Pochettino

• It's been gathered that Romeo Lavia will be out of action for a while.Even though there has been a break from professional football. 

Chelsea's injury problems have become worse following the latest injury to Romeo Lavia. 

Mauricio Pochettino already had a long list of issues to deal with going into his fortnight off from coaching in competitive action, and it now seems that things have become worse right away.

Following the situation he was in, Pochettino was already managing without nine members of his first team during the first month of the season. Pressure has increased on him as a result of expectations rising after yet another massive transfer expenditure after he only managed to get four points from his first four games.

Romeo Lavia, whom the team has been overseeing since his move from Southampton, had been hurt during training.

If you recall that Lavia joined Chelsea in the just concluded 2023 transfer window from Southampton. 

The 19-year-old Belgian has yet to play for the Blues since he didn't have an opportunity to get fit during preseason and because he was expecting a gradual transition.

The teenager, however, suffered an ankle injury at Cobham, and due to initial concerns, underwent scans. According to reports, the midfielder might have to sit out even longer before he makes his club debut, which is not good news.
