Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Romeo Lavia will miss the club’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Brentford due to a muscle injury sustained during training.
The Belgian midfielder, who has endured a frustrating season with limited appearances, remains sidelined, and Maresca did not specify a timeline for his return.
Despite the ongoing fitness challenges, Maresca highlighted Lavia’s development, noting that the player has already shown improvement compared to last season. He emphasized that the focus is now on managing Lavia’s fitness carefully in order to increase his availability and contribution in the next campaign.
The manager also suggested that while Lavia’s injury is unfortunate, it is not as serious as Wesley Fofana’s, offering some hope for a quicker recovery. Chelsea, currently fourth in the Premier League table with eight matches remaining, continue to navigate an intense run-in amid ongoing injury concerns across the squad.
