Injury Blow For Chelsea
Romeo Lavia, a summer acquisition for Chelsea, had tests after sustaining an ankle injury during practice. Lavia, a midfielder, slid over on his ankle during a practice session on Thursday as a result of a challenge, and his injury is being evaluated today. He hadn't played or exercised much for Southampton prior to joining Chelsea, and his future there had been uncertain ever since the south coast club was relegated last season. Since joining Chelsea, he has been improving his fitness. Chelsea, which has already seen a number of injury setbacks this season, will be praying for good news.
