Reece James
Defender Reece James has been ruled out of Chelsea’s next game against Bournemouth with a thigh injury that he aggravated during pre-season.
He was dealing with a thigh issue last season which ruled him out for almost half of the year, however, he is not yet ready to return.
James won’t be available this weekend and most likely will miss a couple more games before he is fit to finally return to the starting XI for the Blues.
Expected return date – Saturday 28 September vs Brighton (H)
