Chelsea injury news and return dates before Nottingham Forest: James, Kante, Chilwell, Fofana

Chelsea now know they will once again be without defender Reece James for at least a month following his latest injury setback.

The 23-year-old was forced to be withdrawn against Bournemouth on Tuesday evening and now looks set for another extended period on the sidelines this season. Graham Potter may now be forced into the transfer market to search for another right-back, with Celtic's Josip Juranovic cited as a possible option.

With other players such as N'Golo Kante and Welsey Fofana still out injured, the Blues will hope other stars can step up their own individual recoveries, with fixtures now coming thick and fast as the festival football period springs into life.
