Chelsea have provided an important injury update this week on two key players, Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia, as they work their way back to full fitness ahead of this weekend’s match.
Both players are crucial to Enzo Maresca’s plans as he prepares to lead Chelsea into their next Premier League fixture against London rivals West Ham on Saturday.
Following a narrow victory over Bournemouth last weekend, secured with a late goal, Chelsea will be hoping to secure another three points to maintain their momentum. However, despite the victory, Chelsea’s performance against Bournemouth left much to be desired, with the home side arguably deserving more from the match.
The Blues were fortunate to come away with a win, and as they gear up for the match against West Ham, Maresca will be hoping for a more dominant and convincing display from his side.
The performance against Bournemouth highlighted the need for improvement, and Maresca will be closely monitoring the fitness of his squad to see what options he has available for the upcoming game.
A key factor in the weekend’s game will be whether some of Chelsea’s injured players can return to the squad in time. As things stand, the club has released updates indicating that both Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia are making progress in their recoveries.
According to the latest report on Chelsea’s official website, the two players participated in another modified training session yesterday, continuing their rehabilitation from their respective injuries.
This news will undoubtedly be encouraging for Chelsea fans, who will be hoping that both Gusto and Lavia could be available for selection come Saturday. However, the club is expected to handle their return to action with caution. Both players, though young, have already experienced a number of injuries in their early careers.
With this in mind, Chelsea are likely to be careful about rushing either player back into the lineup, ensuring that they are fully fit before being reintegrated into the squad. The club will not want to risk further injury by bringing them back too soon, especially as both have shown potential to play key roles in the long term.
Malo Gusto, who plays as a right-back, and midfielder Romeo Lavia are two of the promising young talents in the Chelsea squad. Gusto has shown glimpses of his ability to fill in at right-back, while Lavia’s midfield capabilities are well known. Their return would provide a significant boost to Maresca’s options, especially as the team looks to build consistency and continue climbing the Premier League table.
While there is optimism around their potential return, it remains to be seen whether the duo will be declared match-fit in time for the game against West Ham.
As of now, their participation in the match is uncertain, and Chelsea’s medical team will no doubt be keeping a close eye on their progress over the coming days. Should Gusto and Lavia be ruled out for this weekend’s game, Maresca will have to rely on other squad members to step up in their absence.
Chelsea are closely monitoring the fitness of two key players, Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia, as they continue their recovery from injury. Although both players are making progress in their rehabilitation, it is still uncertain whether they will be available for Saturday’s match against West Ham.
With Chelsea fortunate to have secured a win against Bournemouth last weekend, Maresca will be hoping for a more commanding performance from his side, and the availability of Gusto and Lavia could prove crucial in achieving that. However, the club is likely to be cautious with their return, prioritizing their long-term fitness over immediate availability.
