Enzo Maresca confirms double Chelsea injury blow

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed a double injury blow following the 3-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.

The Blues returned to winning ways with an impressive showing at Stamford Bridge. Trevoh Chalobah was the man of the match for his brilliant defensive performance.

Speaking after the game, Maresca was asked about the absence of Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia. He said that the duo are injured and there is no return date.

He said: "We don't know how long they are going to be out, hopefully not long."

The Blues recently recalled centre-back Chalobah from his season-long loan at Crystal Palace following injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.

Chelsea could seek a similar solution if Lavia and Fernandez are sidelined for long. They could recall either Lesley Ugochukwu or Andrey Santos on loan.

The Blues climbed back into the top four after beating Wolves last night. They face a daunting trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City next.
