Chelsea anticipates Romeo Lavia, Marc Guiu injury returns soon

Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca has provided an update on midfielder Romeo Lavia's fitness, revealing that despite a recent setback, he could return soon as the team prepares for their Premier League match against Ipswich Town. Lavia, who has played only 13 times this season due to injuries, is unlikely to feature in the upcoming game but might be available for future fixtures as Chelsea aims for European qualification. In addition to Lavia, striker Marc Guiu is also nearing a return from injury, which could bolster the squad as they face a congested schedule. Chelsea recently secured a 3-0 victory against Legia Warsaw, putting them in a strong position for the Conference League semifinals. The team is dealing with multiple injury concerns, including a season-ending injury for Fofana and a suspension for Mudryk. Maresca remains hopeful that both Lavia and Guiu will contribute before the season concludes.
