Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia was substituted at half-time against Tottenham due to a hamstring problem.
Speaking after the 4-3 win over their London rivals, head coach Enzo Maresca said the Belgian was replaced as a precaution:
“Unfortunately he felt something in his hamstring in the last minutes of the first half. Now, he’s walking without any pain. It was a small thing.”
“Since we started, I don’t like to lose players for five, six, seven games in a row. Even if Romeo was playing fantastic, we tried to change because he had a problem.”
