Reece James offers injury update after limping off in Chelsea's win at AC Milan

Reece James says he's 'crossing his fingers' in hope that his injury isn't serious after his World Cup chances were cast into doubt.

The 22-year-old defender limped off during Chelsea 's conformable 2-0 win away to AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, with less than six weeks to go until England kick off their campaign in Qatar. James had been in fine form this season - unlike many of his teammates for both club and country - but went down twice at the San Siro before being substituted in the 62nd minute.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter revealed post-match that he hopes his marauding right wing-back would be ready for their Sunday trip to Aston Villa in the Premier League, and now James has spoken out on his own accord.
