Romeo Lavia’s rehab program coming to an end

Lavia has made just seven appearances this season and has been sidelined since suffering an injury against Qarabag in the Champions League in November.

Ravia was initially expected to be out for at least a month, but it has now been more than three months, although his return appears to be getting closer.

It is also believed that Lavia has been using state-of-the-art virtual reality technology to help improve his game, particularly in midfield scanning.

Chelsea looking for new midfielder in summer

Despite Lavia’s imminent return to action, Chelsea are believed to have made signing another midfielder a priority this summer.

The Blues are reportedly hoping to lighten the load on Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, but are unable to do so given the injury problems of Lavia and Dario Esuguo this season.
