Chelsea have suffered a severe injury blow ahead of their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.
This comes after midfielder Romeo Lavia suffered an injury.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Lavia will not play against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.
In his pre-match press conference, Maresca shared news from his squad.
The former Leicester City coach spoke about the 21-year-old, revealing that he suffered a setback in training ahead of the Tottenham game.
Maresca said (via Athletic): “He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately, one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.”
Lavia joined Chelsea from Southampton in the summer of 2023.
The Belgian has seen his development stunted by a series of injury problems at Chelsea.
