Reece James hobbled off the pitch against AC Milan on Tuesday night after seemingly suffering a knee injury. The Chelsea right-back was substituted midway through the match after attempting to carry on playing.
The scare could not have come at a worse time for Chelsea and England, with a packed schedule for Graham Potter in the next month ahead of the mid-season break for the World Cup. The Blues currently lack a like-for-like replacement for James in his position, while the Three Lions may already face losing Kyle Walker after he underwent surgery, putting further emphasis on the importance of the Chelsea academy graduate.
