Chelsea star Reece James may be set for another significant spell on the sidelines after going off injured in the Blues' Premier League clash with Bournemouth. Just eight minutes into the second half, James signalled to the bench that he needed to come off before going down in some discomfort.
The 23-year-old has spent the last few months on the treatment table after suffering a knee injury vs AC Milan and he could be set for more time out, with Cesar Azpilicueta replacing the blistering wing-back, who appeared to be in tears as he headed down the tunnel.
Ahead of the game, Potter confirmed that James would need to "build up his minutes" after missing 10 weeks of action following knee surgery to repair the damage. "The plan is to try to help him build up his minutes, and the next challenge is to build him up in the Premier League which is not the ideal place to do it," Potter revealed.
