Lavia started Chelsea\u2019s first two matches of the season, against Manchester City and Servette, before being sidelined for a month by injury. The 20-year-old is now back in training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It remains to be seen whether the game against Brighton on Saturday is considered too early for Lavia to be involved from the start, Maresca believes Lavia is a similar player to Moises Caicedo and feels they could provide an excellent option as a midfield pairing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cRomeo will give us more or less the same as Moi, He played one league game for us this season against City and I think it was a very good game from Romeo. I\u2019m very excited thinking that soon we can have Moi and Romeo both fit 100 percent because I think both together playing that position, can give us a lot. They can compete for one position and they can play together, for sure,\u201d Maresca told Chelsea\u2019s media team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The other half of that potential midfield duo, Caicedo, has started the season in impressive form and been a near ever-present in the Premier League so far, missing just 14 minutes of the action, when he was substituted with the Blues leading 5-2 at Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Understandably, that has left Maresca very pleased with the Ecuador captain\u2019s performances, although he has identified one area of his game which can still improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
