Chelsea midfielder Roméo Lavia has expressed his determination to change the narrative surrounding his time at the club, which has been heavily disrupted by injuries. The Belgian joined Chelsea from Southampton in a high-profile deal but has struggled to stay fit, limiting his appearances. Lavia is now focused on establishing himself in the squad and proving his worth with consistent run of games. His comments reflect a player looking to reset expectations and build momentum heading into a crucial phase of the season.

For Chelsea, the question is whether fitness or form is the bigger barrier; a fully available Lavia would add depth and pressing quality to their midfield options, but until he strings together a run of starts, he remains a squad option rather than a guaranteed starter.
