Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca recently expressed concern about the team's lack of depth in midfield, particularly with Lavia's injury. Maresca stated that he would like to give more playing time to other midfielders, such as Moises Caicedo, but is unable to do so due to Lavia's absence.

The club is now facing a decision about whether to sell Lavia, as his persistent injuries have made him unreliable. When Lavia does return to fitness, he often picks up a new injury, which has led to concerns about his long-term prospects at the club.
