While discussing tomorrow's game a fellow ST holder said he expects to see Lavia on the bench tomorrow. His name didn't come up in the press conference, so I think the boss will wait another week or two before we get to see him in Chelsea blue.

To be honest Tom, i would bring him back very slowly.
On a good note, u noticed that Kellyman has played a lot of games for Cardiff this season.,

Great if he is at least on the bench Tom, but given the amount of time he hasn't played for us with injury one would hope he is brought back carefully of course. We all am sure hugely hope iif so that he could then remain fit until the end of this season. Would be wonderful for the player and for all of us.

That's very good news about Kellyman. Fingers crossed crossed for Lavia when he returns.

Lavia is playing today for the under 21's so I doubt he will play tomorrow Tom.

Greenaway thanks for the news and I think it makes sense.

Good to hear that Lavia is playing for the under 21s. and perhaps not a full game for them. Might well be the best way to get him up to EPL match fitness and even he should probabky be eased back in slowly to different level of physicallity required EPL.

Think he played the whole of the first half for the U21s today. Fingers crossed!
