Reece James has been left OUT of England's World Cup squad.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has told James, 22, that doesn't want to risk him, as he continues his recovery from a knee injury sustained in a Champions League game against AC Milan last month. The Chelsea defender was advised it would take around eight weeks for the complaint to heal, but he refused to give up on his World Cup dream.
James has worn a knee brace since the injury and started jogging again on Tuesday. He is set to make a remarkable recovery - as it's believed a specialist has told him he could be fit to face Wales on November 29 - but Southgate isn't willing to gamble on his fitness.
