Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior firmly dismissed talk of any “conspiracy” surrounding Reece James’s ongoing absence for the Blues, although he did warn that his captain is struggling from illness.
The skipper boasts a rotten historic injury record and has been forced to sit out Chelsea’s last two matches. Speaking to assembled media on the day before his side’s visit from Leeds United on Tuesday night, Rosenior declared: “Reece is fit. He is feeling unwell today. It’s no conspiracy, it’s the truth. Hopefully, he’ll be well enough for tomorrow.”
