Graham Potter confirms five Chelsea stars missing for Leicester including Reece James

Graham Potter has confirmed Reece James will miss Chelsea's trip to Leicester City because of illness.

James played the full 90 minutes on Tuesday as the Blues knocked Borussia Dortmund out of the Champions League but he didn't train today (Friday) and will not travel with the squad. Potter also confirmed Raheem Sterling has a tight hamstring and is a doubt and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will miss the game with a back problem.

"Reece has been ill, he hasn't trained today, so he won't make the game," the Chelsea head coach told reporters at Cobham. "Raheem has a feeling in his hamstring, more tight than anything, so he's a doubt. Aubameyang has a slight problem with his back, so he won't make it. Apart from that, everyone is okay."
