Chelsea's young midfielder, Romeo Lavia, has unfortunately suffered a hamstring injury. Manager Enzo Maresca has made the decision not to risk Lavia in their upcoming Premier League match against Wolves, after he picked up the injury during a training session. Lavia, who is only 20 years old, had been performing well in previous matches, including a strong showing against Manchester City last week.
Despite featuring in Chelsea's midweek win over Servette, Lavia has been left out of the squad entirely for today's game. Instead, Caicedo, Fernandes, and Palmer will be supporting an attacking line-up consisting of Madueke, Mudryk, and Jackson. As expected, Sterling and Chilwell will also not be playing, and there are rumors that both may be leaving the club before the summer transfer deadline.
There were some concerns that goalkeeper Robert Sanchez may be replaced by new signing Filip Jorgenson, but Maresca has chosen to stick with Sanchez. The rest of the defense will be made up of Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, and Cucurella, who are determined to keep a clean sheet against Wolves, who have yet to secure a win this season.
Maresca spoke about Lavia's injury before the match, explaining that it was just a minor irritation and nothing too serious. He also reassured fans that Lavia's setback would not have a major impact on his playing time in the future. Since joining Chelsea from Southampton in 2023, Lavia has only made three appearances for the first team.
Meanwhile, Wolves have announced their line-up for today's match, as they prepare to take on Chelsea. Lavia's absence will surely be felt by the team, but they remain positive and focused on the game ahead. After the disappointing loss to Manchester City, Lavia remains optimistic and believes that the team is heading in the right direction.
Despite the loss, Lavia and his teammates are taking the positives from the match and using it as a learning opportunity. They understand that playing against top teams like City can be challenging, but they are determined to continue improving. Lavia is confident that the team will bounce back and have a successful season.
