Romeo Lavia has played just 32 minutes this season since moving to Chelsea. The Red Devil suffered an ankle injury this summer, but that issue has long since been resolved. But Chelsea did not want to talk about what was going on with him.
It now appears that this mystery has been solved. According to information from La Libre Belgique newspaper, he suffers from a muscle tear in his thigh. This is a more serious problem than we expected in December last year. Pochettino simply replied: “I'm a little worried,” without specifying the severity or nature of the injury.
“I hope it won't be a big problem because he's an important player. It would be a shame if we can't use him in the next matches.”
In fact, the nature of the problem is causing more concern for the London club, which spent more than 62 million euros to sign the Belgian last summer. In the case of recurring muscle injuries, the length of which is difficult to estimate, it is not unusual for clubs to remain tight-lipped about them.
Especially when the problem is most likely caused by insufficient preparation and hasty return, despite the precautions taken.
