Chelsea manager Mouricio Pochettino broke down in tears as Star player who returned back from injury has been ruled for the rest of the season due to Hamstring injury obtained in training
Romeo Lavia articulated his profound sense of disappointment and dismay following an unfortunate injury that prematurely concluded his inaugural season with Chelsea. Despite his youthful age of 20 and a hefty transfer fee of £53 million, Lavia’s time on the field amounted to a mere 32 minutes before succumbing to a debilitating thigh injury, effectively sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
Wednesday marked the official confirmation of Lavia’s diagnosis by Chelsea, prompting the young player to release a statement via social media. In his message, he lamented his inability to see out the season despite his relentless efforts. Expressing his disappointment at not being able to provide support to his teammates, Lavia emphasized the profound significance of being on the pitch, representing the squad, and wearing the Chelsea badge, all of which hold immense personal importance to him. He reassured his supporters of his unwavering commitment and dedication, pledging to return to the field with renewed vigor.
Acknowledging the support, encouragement, and even criticism he has received from fans, Lavia expressed gratitude, recognizing their role in keeping him motivated. Eager to reciprocate the support and create more cherished memories with the Chelsea faithful, he promised a swift return.
Lavia’s stint with Chelsea has been marred by fitness struggles since his transfer from Southampton last summer. Initially grappling with match fitness issues, he encountered further setback with an ankle injury. Despite making a comeback against Crystal Palace in late December, his playing time was cut short to a mere thirty minutes due to a recurring thigh ailment, adding his name to the extensive roster of injured players that Chelsea and manager Mauricio Pochettino must contend with this season.
