Enzo Maresca explains the omission of Romeo Lavia from Chelsea's squad to face Wolves
Romeo Lavia has not been included in Chelsea's matchday squad to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The two teams squared off at Molineux on Sunday afternoon but Lavia, 20, despite featuring in both of Chelsea's first two games, was left out.
Explaining the absence of the midfielder, Maresca, who was talking to reporters before the game started, quoted by Solezwe, said: “Romeo has a little hamstring problem but not a big concern.”
The 20-year-old's latest injury setback, although suspected to be serious, will still cause concern among the Chelsea staff.
The young Belgian has been plagued by injuries since his £58 million move from Southampton one year ago.
However, although he has already missed 43 games but has recently returned to good form, there is hope that the midfielder will play an important role for the London giants this season.
However, although the Blues currently lead Wolves 1-0 thanks to Nicolas Jackson's early header, Lavia's absence will have an impact on Maresca as the Italian hopes to make it back-to-back wins following midweek European victory at Servette.
