Chelsea’s Champions League match against Qarabag ended in a 2-2 draw, but the result was overshadowed by an unfortunate injury to midfielder Romeo Lavia. The Belgian player, who has only recently returned to fitness, had to be substituted just eight minutes into the game, casting a shadow over the team’s performance.
😟 Manager Expresses Sympathy
Manager Enzo Maresca shared his disappointment for the young player after the match. “Yeah, we feel very sorry especially for him because he’s not able to be fit for a long, long period,” he said. The team’s concern is focused on Lavia’s well-being, as he has worked hard to get back on the pitch.
🔄 A Frustrating Run of Injuries
This latest incident is another setback for Romeo Lavia, who has struggled with injuries since he joined Chelsea from Southampton in 2023. His time at the club has been difficult due to long periods spent recovering, and both the player and the team were hoping he could finally get a consistent run of games.
⏳ Waiting for an Update
While the full extent of the injury is not yet known, Maresca gave an initial thought. “We will see now as it’s too early to understand what kind of injury. Hopefully it’s not a big injury. I think it’s a quad injury.” The club and its supporters are now waiting for further tests to learn how long Lavia might be out of action this time.
