The midfielder arrived in a deal worth £53 million ($67m) but has only made one substitute appearance for his new club due to a succession of injuries. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/romeo-lavia-season-over-chelsea-midfielder-major-injury-setback-pile-misery-on-mauricio-pochettino/blt9fe493c41e119a60#csd6c7db7ccce52e17" target="_blank">He was ruled out for the season back in March</a> after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury sustained in December.
