He twisted his ankle and now we are waiting for Monday for the assessment from the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Hopefully it\u2019s not a big issue but in the last week he has not been training with the team.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/14\/75471649-12522881-image-a-7_1694784101626.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mauricio Pochettino said that Romeo Lavia&#8217;s injury was a &#8216;sad situation&#8217; after he trained well<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/14\/75471629-12522881-image-a-6_1694784072557.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Lavia joined Chelsea for \u00a358m in the sumer but is yet to feature and could be out for six weeks<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a sad situation because he was nearly fit to be involved again with the team.

I think he starts doing things on the pitch with the ball. He is really well, desperate to come again and help the team. Hope he is close and can be available before the next international break.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have had an injury-hit start to the campaign which leaves them 12th in the Premier League with four points in four games.<\/p>\n<p>Pochettino said: &#8216;It is very short, the squad. We are going to face Bournemouth with 14\/15 players. Now it is important to recover players to be more competitive.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;For sure we will be in European competition next season.
