Roméo Lavia Makes Long-Awaited Return to Chelsea Training

Roméo Lavia has returned to full training with Chelsea after recovering from his latest injury setback.

The 21-year-old Belgian midfielder was spotted at the Cobham training ground earlier today, working closely with the medical and coaching staff to ramp up his recovery.

Lavia has struggled with injuries since joining Chelsea from Southampton in the summer of 2023, limiting his appearances to just 14 games across all competitions. Despite his return to training, he is not registered for Chelsea's Europa Conference League squad and will not feature in their upcoming match against Legia Warsaw. However, he is expected to be in contention for Chelsea's Premier League fixture against Fulham this weekend.
