The 19-year-old is yet to make his debut for Chelsea

Romeo Lavia is making progress with his rehabilitation work, but is still expected to miss at least one more month, reports say.

The Belgian suffered an ankle injury in training a month ago and is still recovering. Lavia was set to make his debut for Chelsea following a £58m summer move from Southampton, but that was soon cut short due to the injury, which may have cause some ligament damage.

The 19-year-old removed his protective boot last week as he is registering progress in the recovery. However, there might be some time before Lavia returns to the pitch as head-coach Mauricio Pochettino hinted heading into the last game before the international break.

“I cannot tell you when he will be back but he is still not running. After the international break he will not be back.” Pochettino said.

Chelsea return to action with a mouth-watering clash against city rivals Arsenal and they will be keen to have every possible weapon at their disposal.
