This Wednesday Chelsea faced Wimbledon in the 32nd final of the Curabao Cup (EFL), Big surprise, Romeo Lavia was not part of the selection.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team won 2-1 thanks to goals from Madueke (45′) and Fernandez (72′). The former PSG coach took advantage of this match to play some players in lack of time like Burstow, Moreira and Maatsen but also some midfielders (future competitors to the Red Devil, Romeo Lavia) like Gallagher, Ugochukwu, Fernandez and Caicedo.
POOR CONDITION
The young Belgian who has just been transferred for a staggering sum (65 million euros), was not on the score sheet. Indeed, according to the British media, the young 19-year-old midfielder who went through the RSCA and Manchester City youth school before joining Southampton, is not physically ready. He is in poor condition and for his coach, he is not ready to play a match.
A big disappointment for the Belgian supporters and those of Chelsea who have a lot of expectations for the prodigy. It remains to be seen whether the player will be able to regain rhythm quickly and face the strong competition that awaits him.
