Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia has expressed optimism to Chelsea supporters, promising that the anticipation for his return from injury will be rewarded.

The young midfielder’s early tenure at Stamford Bridge has been plagued by injuries, dampening the excitement surrounding his move.

The 20-year-old Belgian, who chose Chelsea over Liverpool, faced a significant delay in his debut due to an ankle injury, which kept him off the field for the first four months of the season.

Lavia’s Chelsea debut came in a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, but it was cut short to just 32 minutes after he suffered another injury.

Despite these challenges, Lavia is staying positive and is thankful for the support from fans. He is focused on his recovery and reassures supporters that his efforts to return to full fitness will pay off, signaling a hopeful future on the field.

Lavia posted a message on X that read: “Received a lot of support messages and I wanted to let you know that it means a lot to me. I’m gutted not to be able to help the team, but I’m fully focused on coming back. The wait will be worth it…????”
