Chelsea suffer major injury blow ahead Tottenham clash

Chelsea have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their Premier League tie with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.

This is comes after midfielder Romeo Lavia sustained an injury.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has revealed that Lavia will not feature against Spurs at Stamford Bridge.

In his pre-match press conference, Maresca shared news from his squad.

The former Leicester City coach spoke about the 21-year-old, revealing that he suffered a setback in training ahead of the Tottenham game.

Maresca said (via Athletic): “He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately, one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.”

Lavia joined Chelsea from Southampton in the summer of 2023.

The Belgian has seen his development stunted by a series of injury problems at Chelsea.
