Graham Potter admits Reece James' knee injury will be a "big miss" for Chelsea. The England defender was ruled out for up to eight weeks on Saturday night in a club statement following scans.
James' World Cup chances with England are in major doubt and is now set to miss at least nine games before Christmas after he was forced off in the midweek Champions League win over AC Milan at the San Siro.
“It’s a big miss for us,” the head coach said. “We’re disappointed he’s out. We are going to have to deal with that and help him get back fit as quickly as we can.
