Romeo Lavia insists he is finally winning his fitness battle in time to help Chelsea in their Champions League qualification fight.

But Lavia has been excellent on his return to action and his timing is good news for Chelsea as they bid to nail down a place in the top five to secure Champions League football next season.

Lavia said: “My goal the whole season was to be with the team and help them as much as I can.



So I just take it game by game and I’m enjoying every moment, so, yeah, so positive at the moment.”

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has described his team as having “five cup finals” left in their run-in, with three Premier League matches and potentially two more in the Conference League to complete.

They have arguably the hardest run, with top five rivals Newcastle and Nottingham Forest away to come.

Lavia’s injury woes mean he is not in the Chelsea Conference League squad as the Blues look to finish the job against Djurgarden in the semi-finals on Thursday night, having won the first leg in Sweden 4-1.

“But I just think we have to focus on each game and stick to our plans and everything will go well.

“We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, so we just focus game by game.

We’ve got a big one on Thursday, so we’ve just got to get ready and create that momentum.”
