Returns back to Chelsea Lavia has returned from his national team duties due to injury, according to the team.

Suffers injury Lavia was injured and subbed out in the 68th minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Arsenal. He registered one tackle (one won) and one clearance before exiting the match.

Impact Lavia's injury forced Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca's hand, who replaced the defensive midfielder with another in Enzo Fernandez. In not even multiple minutes, the move paid dividends, as Fernandez was in the right place and right time to deliver a short pass to Pedro Neto, whose 70th-minute long shot equalized for the Blues. As for Lavia, he will enter the international break with a problem that could prove costly for Belgium but may be alright for Chelsea. The team will continue its Premier League schedule with a game at Leicester City on Nov. 23. Should the injured Lavia not be available then, Fernandez could reclaim a starting spot for at least one game.

First Premier League assist Lavia assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.

Impact Lavia sprung Cole Palmer for Chelsea's second and decisive goal Sunday as they outlasted Newcastle for a 2-1 victory. The assist was the first of the season and first of his career in the Premier League. In each of the two fixtures since returning form injury, Lavia has been selected to the starting XI and paired in a central pivot role with Moises Caicedo. It will be worth monitoring in the coming weeks if manager Enzo Maresca opts for a defensive approach by pairing the two aforementioned defensive holding midfielders or for a more attacking minded approach with Enzo Fernandez controlling play in the middle of the park.
