As Chelsea prepares to face West Ham this weekend, the Blues' fans are finally getting some good news on the injury front.
Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia, two of the team's most promising young players, are making progress in their rehabilitation and could return to action soon.
Gusto, the 21-year-old French full-back, has been sidelined since suffering a thigh injury against Crystal Palace earlier this month. He was forced to withdraw from France's under-21 team during the international break, but it seems he's now on the mend.
Lavia, the 20-year-old midfielder, picked up a hamstring niggle in the season's opening games and has been working hard to get back fit.
The Chelsea website has been sharing updates on the duo's progress, and fans are optimistic that they'll be back in action soon. In fact, they could even make their returns this weekend against West Ham.
The Hammers have been struggling to find their rhythm under new manager Julen Lopetegui, but they'll be buoyed by their dramatic late equalizer against Fulham last time out.
Gusto and Lavia were both major signings for Chelsea in 2023, with Gusto arriving from Olympique Lyonnais for £30 million and Lavia joining from Southampton for £53 million.
Both players have shown immense promise in their early careers, and their returns will be a welcome boost to Chelsea's squad.
The Blues have a busy schedule ahead of them, with matches against Barrow in the Carabao Cup, Brighton in the Premier League, and Gent in the Europa Conference League.
With Gusto and Lavia back in contention, Chelsea will be looking to build on their steady start to the season and push for a top-four finish.
