Very bad news has been confirmed for a Chelsea midfielder as his season has gotten off to the worst possible start as his injury takes a turn for the worst.

Chelsea led 3-0 and secured a comfortable victory against West Ham in yesterday’s early Premier League match. The performance was strong across the board.

While the home team struggled, especially at the beginning, it shouldn’t overshadow the quality of Chelsea’s play during the first half. Moises Caicedo stood out, actively shielding the defense while also contributing to the attack.

His beautifully weighted first-time pass to Nicolas Jackson set up the second goal.

It wasn’t just the fans who appreciated his performance; Romeo Lavia also took to Twitter, posting, “Moi, embarrassed emoji, fire emoji.”

While it’s great to see teammates supporting each other, many commenters have pointed out that it would be better to see Lavia actually playing alongside Moi rather than just tweeting about him.

We were really hoping—though perhaps not expecting—to see him on the bench today, but that didn’t happen.

The midfielder sustained an injury at the end of August, which he himself claimed on Twitter was “nothing to worry about.”

He assured fans, “I’ll be back very soon.” However, a month has passed, and he’s still sidelined. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a repeat of last season, where he made just one brief appearance. We had hoped that a long break would resolve these issues—his preseason performances were very promising.

Lavia is facing challenges similar to those of last season. We still believe this can be a successful year for Romeo, but it has begun on a disappointing note.

In the meantime, Caicedo is performing exceptionally well and stepping up in his Belgian teammate’s absence. We’re interested to see if Lavia will get some playing time with the B team in the Carabao Cup against Barrow tomorrow night to help him regain his match fitness.
