Chelsea will be missing Reece James this evening for their Premier League match against Southampton. football.london understands the England international has not travelled with the rest of the squad.
James has been a starter in each of Chelsea's opening four Premier League matches – contributing a goal and an assist in those games. He is, however, now set to miss the trip to the Saints as the Blues look to make it back-to-back victories in the space of four days.
This comes as a setback to the 22-year-old Cobham graduate and Chelsea will have to cope without one of their brightest attacking talents.
