Romeo Lavia injury update as one other Chelsea star is ruled out of Europa Conference League game vs. Servette
Chelsea have had a strong last few days both on and off the field. The Blues defeated Swiss side Servette to put one foot in the Europa Conference League group stage before travelling to Molineux and thumping Wolves 6-2 to secure their first league win of the campaign. Now, all attention turns to the second leg of their play-off as they aim to see off Servette, secure European football, and end the transfer window on a high.
Joao Felix joined in the last 10 days and made his debut against Wolves, but he wasn't registered for the Conference League, so he will not be available tomorrow. He’s not the only absentee, though, as Chelsea is dealing with a few injury issues. Moises Caicedo appeared to have picked up a knock in the win against Wolves but is fine and has travelled with the squad, which is a massive boost.
Here are the latest updates on injuries:

Hide AdThe former Southampton midfielder picked up a minor hamstring injury in training and missed the trip to Wolves. He hasn't been seen in any recent training videos, and with the international break just around the corner, there’s every chance he won’t be risked for the next two games.
Reece James
The Chelsea captain has suffered another hamstring injury. It’s unclear which leg is affected, as manager Maresca told LondonWorld he wasn’t sure if it was the same one as last season. James has been seen at every Chelsea home game so far this season, supporting the team and playing a major role even when not fit. However, he is set to miss this game as well and will likely be back after the international break.
