Chelsea supporters reacted in unison in their reaction to call out Romeo Lavia after his latest social media reveal.
Chelsea have seen a mixed set of results since the start of the season, with the side winning two out of four Premier League matches.
They suffered their first loss of the season this week as Enzo Maresca’s side lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League with Harry Kane starring in a 3-1 win.
One player who was not included in the squad was Lavia, who continues to recover from his latest injury sustained before the start of the season.
Lavia was spotted in open training for Chelsea in recent weeks, but the midfielder is not yet fit to feature this season.
Now, fans are unhappy with his latest social media update, away from the training ground.
Lavia joined Chelsea back in 2023.
Lavia posted on his second Instagram account on his current activities whilst away from the pitch.
While the rest of the team were recovering from the loss in Munich, the midfielder revealed he was spending time playing EAFC 26.
