Paul Merson’s Take on Chelsea vs. Arsenal: A Mistaken Concern?
Football pundit Paul Merson has expressed concerns about Chelseaβs upcoming clash against Arsenal, citing the absence of Romeo Lavia as a major issue. Following Chelseaβs victory over Leicester, Merson stated that when the Blues face high-intensity teams like the Gunners, they need Laviaβs presence in midfield. However, he believes Chelsea will struggle in his absence.
But hereβs the twistβLavia is fully fit and back in action! The young midfielder has recovered from his injury and is available for selection, potentially strengthening Chelseaβs midfield in the crucial game. His return could prove vital as Chelsea prepares to take on Arsenal in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter.
Mersonβs comments, while acknowledging Laviaβs importance, seem to be based on outdated information. With the midfielder now back in the squad, Chelsea fans can look forward to seeing him in action. Whether he starts or not remains to be seen, but his availability certainly boosts Chelseaβs chances of competing against a strong Arsenal side.
For now, it might be time for someone to whisper in Mersonβs earβLavia is back, and Chelseaβs midfield is not as depleted as he thinks!
