James’ injury update ahead of game vs Aston Villa

Chelsea will return to action this weekend when they face Aston Villa in the premier league following their recent win against AC Milan in the UCL.

Ahead of the match, Chelsea manager Graham Potter gave an update on Reece James’ injury as there are reports he could miss the World Cup in Qatar, which starts on November 20.

‘He’s due to see a specialist over the weekend, so until we get that information there’s not too much else I can add unfortunately,’ said Potter in a pre-match statement.

‘The rest would be speculation. We will wait and see. We need to check the discomfort and see a specialist.

‘Yesterday he felt not too bad, but until you get these things checked you never know. We will wait and see. There’s no point looking into the doomsday scenario yet, we need to check and then go forward.’
