At 21:00 on August 25, Chelsea will face Wolves away in the second round of the Premier League. The Blues’ midfielder, Lavia, has not been included in the squad for this match.
Chelsea’s head coach, Maresca, confirmed in a pre-match interview that Lavia is experiencing some hamstring discomfort and thus is unable to play today. His condition is not serious, and sitting out today is merely a precautionary measure.
However, since joining Chelsea with a transfer fee exceeding 60 million Euros, Lavia has been plagued by injuries, which resulted in his participation in only one Premier League match last season.
