OUT
Injury Strain
Est. Return 9/17/2025
Back training on grass
Lavia (strain) was viewed training on grass Monday, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Lavia was spotted training on grass on Monday as part of his rehabilitation process from the injury he suffered during the game against Benfica in the Club World Cup during the summer. That said, he will need a few team training sessions before being available for selection, as coach Enzo Maresca said before the international break that he will still need time and they will be cautious with him. Lavia's absence is likely a minor loss for the Blues since he is expected to hold a rotational role in the midfield once fully fit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea doubting over him
Chelsea are ready to make a move for Kobbie Mainoo due to the growing doubts regarding Lavia's fitness, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Lavia has struggled to stay healthy all season long, and the midfielder might be ready to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer. Lavia could also go out on loan, but a permanent transfer is not out of the question, especially if Chelsea end up signing a replacement like Kobbie Mainoo.
