Hoping to train fully soon
Lavia (quad) is hoping to train fully in the coming weeks, according to manager Liam Rosenior.

I'm very excited to work with him."
ANALYSIS
Lavia has been out since early November and will likely need at least a full week of full training before being considered an option again for the senior team. He's had a tough couple seasons at Chelsea due to injury, but he still figures to provide depth in the. midfield when needed. Once back, he'll compete with Andrey Santos for minutes in the midfield, mostly behind Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Reece James.

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.

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.
