Lavia has really been making a name for himself this season at Chelsea. The talented midfielder has been a crucial player for the team, impressing fans and coaches alike. However, it seems that his success has hit a minor bump in the road as he is currently dealing with a hamstring injury while on international duty with Belgium.
Just a few months ago, Lavia joined Chelsea from Southampton for a whopping £50 million. Unfortunately, his first season with the team was cut short due to a hamstring issue that caused him to miss four games in August and September. Despite this setback, Lavia has bounced back and has been a key player in Enzo Maresca's new-look midfield, forming a strong partnership with Moises Caicedo.
However, during the recent 1-1 draw against Arsenal, Lavia was forced to leave the game due to his hamstring acting up again. This caused some concern, but Lavia assured his fans that he would be fine after joining his international teammates for their games against Italy and Israel.
Unfortunately, Lavia was not able to play in the game against Italy and will also be sitting out in the game against Israel tonight. His absence is not the only injury concern for Belgium, as their coach Domenico Tedesco has expressed that there are a few other players dealing with injuries as well.
Tedesco stated, "Some players had problems immediately after the [last] game, and we already knew in the evening that they would not be available. Then there were injuries today like Roméo Lavia. […] Lukaku has a knee problem, he felt it after the game. It was not agreed before that he would leave after a game. [Arthur] Theate and Lavia have hamstring problems."
Chelsea fans may be worried about Lavia's injury, but they can rest assured that he is not trying to escape his duties with his national team. Tedesco made it clear that all of the injuries within his squad are genuine concerns and he has never experienced such a situation before.
As for Chelsea, they will be hoping for Lavia's speedy recovery as they face Leicester City on 23 November. The team has been keeping an eye on his progress and are eagerly awaiting his return to the field. With their upcoming game against Leicester being a crucial one, Chelsea will need all of their players in top form.
It's not just Chelsea fans who are eagerly waiting for Lavia's return, but also the team's news and analysis team.
