I like Club World Cup individual walk ons - Lavia

Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia says he likes the Club World Cup individual walkouts as he bids to overcome his injury issues.

The 21-year-old started the 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC in Chelsea's opening match of the newly expanded tournament in the United States.

Before kick-off, as with the other matches at Fifa's tournament, each individual player was announced and walked out separately at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

When asked about the experience, Lavia said he liked it: "I think it's something special and new for us. It's a first for us. I enjoyed it.
