Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia is set for an extended spell on the sidelines following an injury sustained during the club’s 2-2 UEFA Champions League draw against Qarabag. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca revealed that the injury could involve his quadriceps, a worrying setback for the young Belgian talent who has struggled with fitness issues since joining the club.
Lavia was forced off just four minutes into the match and was replaced by Moises Caicedo. Maresca expressed regret over the injury, noting the need to manage Lavia’s recovery meticulously to avoid further setbacks. Lavia’s situation is reminiscent of prolonged absences seen in other key Chelsea players like Reece James, underlining Chelsea’s ongoing injury challenges.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) confirmed injuries to key players including Manuel Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, and Ousmane Dembele ahead of their crucial Champions League fixtures. These absences complicate PSG’s campaign as they look to secure qualification from their group.
The injuries to these stars from two of Europe’s biggest clubs pose questions about squad depth and resilience, as both teams prepare for the demanding fixture schedule ahead.
