Romeo Lavia is yet to make his Chelsea debut, and reports claim he may not be doing that anytime soon.

Romeo Lavia has reportedly had a setback in his injury recovery journey, and may no longer return as early as previously predicted.

The Belgian joined the Blues from Southampton in the summer, but he couldn’t immediately start playing due to fitness issues.

Lavia was required to undergo some training programs to aid his match-fitness, but then he picked up an ankle injury.

The midfielder has been working to regain full fitness, and was expected to be available to play by as early as November, although that may no longer be the case, if a new report is to be believed.

According to the Evening Standard, Lavia has suffered an injury setback, and will no longer be ready to return until December. This is because Chelsea want to be cautious and avoid aggravating the situation.
