Chelsea's Romeo Lavia Managed Cautiously After Injury
Romeo Lavia, currently a midfielder for Chelsea, was not in the starting lineup for Belgium's Nations League match against Turkey. Belgium's coach, Mark van Bommel, indicated that this decision was made to avoid taking unnecessary risks with Lavia, who had recently returned from injury.
Lavia played 85 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 defeat to France, where he was substituted due to cramp. Van Bommel praised Lavia's performance against France, stating he was "brilliant." Lavia expressed that he felt very tired after the match, noting it had been a while since he played at such intensity.
He has participated in four of Chelsea's five Premier League games this season, but both Chelsea and the Belgium national team are managing his playing time carefully as he continues to recover.
