Chelsea injury update: Malo Gusto, Romeo Lavia and Reece James latest news and return dates

“Malo, no, he’s not fit,” Maresca said.

However, during his pre-Barrow press conference, the Italian confirmed that Gusto is now available for selection. He may still need to wait until the Brighton match to make his return.

Possible return date: September 24 vs Barrow or September 28 vs Brighton.

Romeo Lavia
Romeo Lavia’s season has once again been hindered by injuries. After moving from Southampton for £53 million, Lavia managed only one appearance last term.
