Romeo Lavia will not play again this season, Chelsea have confirmed in an official statement this week.
This brings down the curtain on the Belgian's maiden campaign at Stamford Bridge in which he has played for 32 minutes.
Meanwhile, Chelsea supporters are baffled by the fact that some fans on social media are putting the blame on the 20-year-old midfielder.
mr-based-minded (all reactions via /r/ChelseaFC): "Guys, can we actually get behind a player for once? I wish him a speedy recovery."
Peanut44444: "You can question our recruitment, our medical staff, even Poch. But the player is usually the last one at fault in these situations."
spenbuck1712: "Being injured is very frustrating because nobody understands why it's happening to you, and there's almost nothing you can do about it other than rehab and hope it gets better."
BadCogs: "I believe in the lad, and feel bad for him, hopefully he can leave his injuries behind and be much fitter starting next season."
shanny888: "The issue isn't the player, it's the incompetence that technical staff and medical team that don't work or communicate together."
half_jase: "There are always people who will go trash on players when they get injured. The world would be a better place if people are actually more supportive of players in such situation."
