Despite defeating Tottenham Hotspur in round 15 of the Premier League, Chelsea also suffered a significant loss with the injury of defensive midfielder Romeo Lavia.

In the London derby that took place last Sunday night, Chelsea FC had a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory at Tottenham Hotspur FC's home ground thanks to the brilliance of Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer (double) and Enzo Fernández.

This victory helped The Blues firmly hold second place in the table with 31 points, 2 points more than Arsenal and only 4 points behind the leader Liverpool. However, the victory over Tottenham would have been more perfect for coach Enzo Maresca's team if star Romeo Lavia had not been injured right after the first half.

Speaking to Football London, coach Enzo Maresca announced that Romeo Lavia had spoken about his player's hamstring injury.

"Unfortunately, Romeo Lavia felt a hamstring problem at the end of the first half. I don't like losing a player for five, six or seven games in a row, not to mention he played fantastically in the first half," said Enzo Maresca.

In this match, Romeo Lavia was one of the few Chelsea players who played impressively in the first half. Before leaving the field, the Belgian midfielder was still a big highlight, showing his important role in the central area.

With the Premier League's tight schedule and the lack of stability in the squad, losing a talented midfielder like Lavia will be a difficult problem for coach Maresca in the race for the championship titles this season.

After moving to Chelsea from Southampton for £50m, Lavia missed the entire 2023-24 season due to a long-term injury. This season, the player has become an important part of Enzo Maresca's squad, forming a solid midfield alongside Moises Caicedo.

However, the recent injury has left Chelsea fans worried about the 20-year-old's recovery, especially after he suffered a similar problem earlier in the season.
