Lavia (quadriceps) played one half of Friday's U21 game against Leeds United as planned and makes the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley with the senior team.
ANALYSIS
Lavia is on the verge of logging his first senior minutes since early November after a quad injury kept him sidelined for months. The midfielder took a key step in his comeback by playing a planned half in Friday's U21 matchup against Leeds United, building match fitness, and he now makes the bench for Saturday's clash against the Clarets with the senior squad. He could see some minutes off becnh if called upon during the game and once he will be back to full speed, Lavia is expected to re-enter the rotation and provide added depth in the midfield mix for the Blues.
