‘This will be my first proper season. Last season was frustrating because it was hard,’ he told reporters.
‘You’re young. You want to play. You’re getting to know your body, which is sometimes unfair because you feel like you’re doing everything right to get back but nature sometimes decides in a different way. I wouldn’t blame anything.’

After an impressive season returning Leicester City to the top flight, Maresca arrived at Chelsea after a topsy-turvy season for the Blues.
And with another flurry of young talent, the Italian has to wade his way through a bloated squad to find some consistency.
It is for that reason that Lavia has urged caution from the fans, suggesting his side are brimming with talent but nowhere near the finished article yet.
‘Chelsea is the one [side] that is growing,’ Lavia replied when asked why he chose to turn down Liverpool and join Chelsea.
‘You can see the bigger picture. When I saw a group of young, talented players that at their previous clubs had been the best players, it can only go well. Now I’m here, I realise it’s true.
‘We are building something amazing. Everyone at the club can feel it. Not just the players but everyone.
‘Manchester City and all the teams that have been successful, they needed years to do that. I’m not saying we need the same years but it’s definitely going to take time.’
