"Romeo Lavia is doing very well and he's ready to go [from the start]. I'm delighted for him and he will definitely play a part tomorrow. He will play a big part for the rest of the season and his attributes will help us."
"When he gets his opportunity, I expect him to take it, as I do with all the players. He will get his opportunities in big games."
Chelsea prepares for an FA Cup fifth-round fixture against Championship side Wrexham on Saturday evening. Midfielder Romeo Lavia has recovered from a quad injury sustained in November and completed substitute appearances against Arsenal and Aston Villa without complications. Manager Liam Rosenior confirmed Lavia's readiness to start and emphasized his importance for the remainder of the season. Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens remain sidelined with hamstring injuries but are expected to return to training next week. Liam Delap may lead the attack with Joao Pedro rested ahead of a midweek Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. Pedro Neto returns from suspension, while Enzo Fernandez could feature among the starting lineup.
