Roméo Lavia to Miss Rest of Season Due to Thigh Injury

Chelsea's £53 million signing sidelined after just 32 minutes of play, exacerbating the club's injury woes.

Roméo Lavia, Chelsea's recent £53m acquisition, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a thigh injury, having played only 32 minutes since his debut.
The Belgian midfielder's injury is a significant blow to Mauricio Pochettino's squad, which is already dealing with injuries to several key players including Reece James and Christopher Nkunku.
Lavia's absence further limits Chelsea's midfield options, with Pochettino relying on Conor Gallagher, Enzo Fernández, and Moisés Caicedo.
Chelsea, currently 11th in the Premier League, faces Burnley in their next match.
The club's struggle with injuries has persisted since being acquired by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, prompting an overhaul of the medical department.
