Chelsea injury update: Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo and Reece James latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Blues face two games in just a few days’ time before international break

Chelsea are up and running in the Premier League under Enzo Maresca.

The Blues followed up their midweek win over Servette with a stunning 6-2 victory away at Wolves in which Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick.

Cole Palmer bagged a fine goal himself, while Joao Felix scored on his second debut for the club.

It raises confidence for the season ahead, although Maresca has some injury concerns before two games in a week.

They travel to Servette later this week with a 2-0 goal lead in the Europa Conference League play-off round before hosting Crystal Palace this weekend.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Chelsea injury news.

Romeo Lavia

Romeo Lavia endured a nightmare season last time out, mustering only 58 minutes following a big move from Southampton.

The midfielder had started to impress after putting those problems behind him but suffered a hamstring injury before the game with Wolves.

Potential return date: Unknown

Moises Caicedo

Moises Caicedo was brought off in the second-half at Molineux after a collision.

No update was given after the game.

Potential return date: Unknown

Reece James

Reece James suffered a hamstring injury before the start of the season and it remains to be seen when he could return, despite telling reporters earlier this month that his issue was not too bad.

Potential return date: Unknown

Omari Kellyman

Omari Kellyman stayed at Cobham over pre-season to overcome an unspecified injury.

The 18-year-old played his first minutes of pre-season last weekend in an U21s friendly with Brentford, when he came off the bench.

Potential return date: August 2024

Djordje Petrovic

Goalkeeper Petrovic was also left out of America due to injury.

It is unknown whether he is back to full fitness, however, given Chelsea’s plethora of keepers and reports that Petrovic is reportedly being lined up for a loan move away.

Potential return date: August 2024
