The head coach of London’s Chelsea club, Enzo Maresca, confirmed before the match against Agdam's Qarabag that Pedro Neto will not play in this match and commented on the protection of Romeo Lavia:

"Pedro Neto will miss this match due to a minor injury and will return before the Wolves match.”

"I would love for R. Lavia to be able to play regularly, but my task is to protect him.

The main goal for him is to be healthy. To avoid any injuries.

At this moment, R. Lavia is in a similar situation to where Reece James was about a year ago.”

21-year-old Romeo Lavia has played six matches this season.
