Reece James looks set to make his second major injury comeback of the season after suffering a second knee injury in his return match on Boxing Day. In the clash at Stamford Bridge against Bournemouth, James was making his first appearance since early October after he hobbled off at the San Siro in the Champions League group stage clash against AC Milan, but his return was cut short by another injury.
The club later confirmed the defender would be out for at least a month and with the Premier League fixture against Fulham on Friday, February 3 arriving just beyond that timeline, James, as confirmed by Chelsea boss Graham Potter, will be in his squad under the lights tomorrow.
“Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Raheem Sterling, and Ruben [Loftus-Cheek] are back in the squad, not ready for 90 minutes but in the squad," Potter said when asked for the latest team news ahead of the west London derby.
