Chelsea have confirmed that Reece James will spend up to a month on the sidelines after suffering another knee injury.
James had been ruled out since October after suffering a problem in the Champions League win over AC Milan. That injury saw him miss the World Cup. The right-back has only just returned to full fitness, but he was hit by another problem in Chelsea's clash with Bournemouth on Tuesday.
He was forced off after just 53 minutes after making a seemingly innocuous pass, to be replaced by Cesar Azplicueta. James underwent scans on Wednesday, with the Blues now confirming the full extent of his latest injury issue.
