Roméo Lavia's season is officially over after Chelsea announced that the midfielder suffered a further injury setback.
Lavia originally joined the Blues from Southampton for £58 million last summer but has had his season thwarted by injury.
The midfielder has played just 32 minutes of football this season – a second-half cameo in Chelsea's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace back in December.
But a hamstring injury has meant that the 20-year-old has not been on the pitch since and fans will not get a glimpse of him now until the 2024/25 season due to a 'setback in his recovery' according to the club.
Midfielder Romeo Lavia will miss the remainder of the 2023/24 season.
