Graham Potter gives Reece James injury update timeline after Chelsea star worry against AC Milan

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has claimed that there may be an update on the injury sustained by star defender Reece James in the next day or two as he is assessed by the medical team. It comes after concerns for the England international, who had to come off midway through the second half against AC Milan on Tuesday night.

It marks another game under the new boss that was largely positive apart from an injury scare during the clash. The Blues dominated the game as former academy graduate Fikayo Tomori saw red for his challenge on Mason Mount in the box, with Jorginho scoring from the penalty spot.

A slick move shortly after was then finished off by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to double the lead before half-time, with the game in Chelsea's control. While there was the threat of being pulled into a scruffy game, the Blues held their nerve and a huge win has seen them jump from bottom of their group to top in a matter of games.
