Romeo Lavia will not be able to play for Chelsea in their upcoming match against Wolves this weekend. Enzo Maresca, the head coach of Chelsea, has provided an update on the injuries of both Lavia and Pedro Neto before their Premier League clash with Wolves on Saturday.
Lavia suffered a quad injury during the Champions League draw with Qarabag on Wednesday and had to be substituted after only eight minutes. Neto, on the other hand, appeared to have hurt his calf during Chelsea's win over Tottenham last week.
In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Maresca was asked about Lavia's condition and said that they are still waiting for the results of the checks, but it is certain that he is injured. He expressed disappointment and stated that they were trying to limit Lavia's playing time, but unfortunately, he got injured again. Maresca also mentioned that they will continue to work on finding a solution for Lavia.
Regarding Neto, Maresca shared that he had a session with the physio yesterday and will travel with the team today. The final decision on his availability for the match will be made later.
When asked if Lavia's injury will affect Moises Caicedo's playing time, Maresca agreed and said that they would have liked to rest Caicedo more, but due to injuries to other players like Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, and Joao Pedro, they have limited options.
Maresca also discussed Estevao and his readiness to start for Chelsea against Wolves. He confirmed that Estevao is ready to start and expressed that they are helping him adjust to the new environment in England. He also acknowledged Estevao's talent and stated that he is a valuable player for the club.
In conclusion, Maresca commented on Estevao's adaptation to the English weather and mentioned that he has been complaining about the cold since October. He emphasized the importance of adapting to the conditions and expressed his satisfaction with Estevao's progress so far.
