Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia is injured again.

Lavia did not make the squad for Chelsea’s Premier League match against Wolves on Sunday. Manager Enzo Maresca mentioned that Lavia has a minor hamstring issue.

Lavia was a major signing for Chelsea last summer but missed almost the entire season due to injuries. He had his first Premier League start in last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City, where he was one of Chelsea’s standout players.

Chelsea’s newest addition, Joao Felix, was on the bench after moving from Atletico Madrid. Raheem Sterling was not included in the squad once more.
