Romeo Lavia has posted a cryptic message on social media after being left out of the Chelsea squad that played Wolves on Sunday.

The Blues prevailed 6-2 at Molineux in a chaotic affair, but only after the pre-match talk had been dominated by the absence of the Belgian midfielder.

Lavia started the 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City last weekend, being being withdrawn after 66 minutes.

He was also a late substitute in the Europa Conference League win over Servette on Thursday, and his omission by Enzo Maresca was initially viewed by Chelsea fans as being dropped.

However, the 20-year-old showed no signs of discontent when he posted on X after the win. But his wording still left many supporters guessing after he didn’t exactly disclose what had gone on.

“Five star team performance!” He wrote. “Let’s keep it going. PS: I’ll be back very soon. Nothing to worry about it’s going to be a long and exciting season for us Blues.”

He rounded up his statement with a blue heart emoji, suggesting he was very much on board with the Chelsea squad. And his post appeared to back-up reports that Maresca had left him out due to a minor hamstring issue.
