Chelsea supporters' nightmare became true on Friday. After seeing Reece James limp off at the San Siro, Blues fans on social media went into panic mode. However, he joined his team-mates on the pitch at full-time, so there were early indications that the knee injury was not as bad as initially feared.
That is not the case, though, as football.london reported on Friday afternoon. James is now facing a race to be fit in time for next month's FIFA World Cup after a scan on Thursday.
James has arguably been Chelsea's best player so far this season. Even when times were hard under Thomas Tuchel, the England international was still producing sparkling performances on a consistent basis. With Chelsea in fine form since Graham Potter's appointment, James continued to standout, but his momentum has now been brought to a stop.
