An international break would not be complete with injury issues and squad withdrawals. It is something all clubs become familiar with and Chelsea are no different.
Reece James and Kai Havertz have both departed from the national sides in recent days through injury and illness respectively. With a busy April ahead, the club will be hopeful that neither issue is too significant and can be resolved quickly.
While there will be a degree of relief from the Blues that James was not risked against Ukraine, until he is back at Cobham for rehabilitation there will always be concern given the wing-back's injury record this season. That the England camp noted he was departing so Chelsea could assess an 'ongoing' issue brought reassurance and worry in equal measure.
