Romeo Lavia sends emotional message to Chelsea fans after injury setback
The 20-year-old has featured in just one match for the club this summer
Romeo Lavia has sent a heartfelt message to Chelsea supporters after being sidelined for the remainder of the season due to another significant injury setback.
Despite his £58 million transfer from Southampton last summer, the 20-year-old has featured in just one match for the club.
"Hi Chelsea family. As you may know and despite my countless efforts, I will be missing the remainder of the season," he wrote on Instagram. "This has been a frustrating season for me, not being able to help my teammates.
"I love this squad, this badge and being on the pitch more than anything. Trust that I have given my all everyday to get back. Thank you for the love, support and critics because they all affect me positively and keep me going.
"Can't wait to give it back and share many special moments together [blue heart emoji] See you soon."
Chelsea confirmed that Lavia would be limited to just half an hour on the pitch this season in a statement released on Wednesday.
"Midfielder Romeo Lavia is to unfortunately miss the remainder of our 2023-24 campaign following a setback in his recovery," it reads.
"Recent medical assessments have confirmed that Lavia, who sustained a significant thigh injury against Crystal Palace back in December, will not feature again this season."
