Kieran Trippier's chances of starting at the World Cup could receive a major boost, after reports that Reece James could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Chelsea boss Graham Potter has revealed that James will see a specialist over the weekend amid fears that his World Cup place could be in jeopardy.
Sportsmail have reported that James underwent a scan on a knee injury on Thursday, which showed he sustained ligament damage in Chelsea's 2-0 win over AC Milan in midweek. The report adds that he is likely to be ruled out for six to eight weeks, but Potter refused to jump to any conclusions.
"He is due to see a specialist over the weekend so, until we get that information, there's not too much else I can add unfortunately," Potter told Sky Sports News.
