Graham Potter and Chelsea were dealt a massive blow against Bournemouth despite being 2-0 up and cruising. Having gestured to the bench in discomfort moments earlier, Reece James continue to play on before making an inconspicuous lunge to keep a ball in play.
That was the last time he touched the ball, going to ground and putting his hands on his head whilst teammates had to watch on. James was making his first start since hobbling off injured with a knee setback that left him out of action for eight weeks.
His return was brief though, only lasting an hour. Although Potter said afterwards that the plan was to get him 60/65 minutes on the pitch he didn't plan for that to be cut short by injury.
