Chelsea’s summer signing sustains injury

Chelsea have reasons to be worried as they could be without Roméo Lavia after the international break.

Lavia who joined Blues in the summer transfer window is yet to make his debut, and with the look of things, it may be a few more weeks or even months, before he gets to do so.

This comes as recent reports revealed the 19-year-old midfielder picked up an ankle injury during training.

Lavia was one of the number of players who stayed back and also trained at Cobham this week, with others away on international duty.

The midfielder was supposedly getting closer to reaching full fitness after missing out on a preseason, but now that’s going to take a bit longer.

There are no details as to the extent of the injury as the Blues are yet to confirm it which means it could just be something minor.
