Romeo Lavia Injury: Remains battling injury

Lavia (strain) is out for Saturday's match against Fulham and is likely to miss further time after the international break, according to manager Enzo Maresca, per Bobby Vincent of Football London. "Romeo, I don't think he will be back after the international break, but he will be closer. I'm always worried, but with Romeo, because it is a long time out, it is normal he needs time."

Lavia will not return against Fulham and appears to be set for even more time on the sidelines moving forward, as the midfielder isn't expected to be fit after the break either. The hope will be that he can then return soon after the break, although it appears he has yet to see advanced training. He still has yet to appear this season, likely set for a rotational role once fit.
