Chelsea have received a massive blow as football.london understands Reece James' injury sustained in the second half against AC Milan is worse than first thought.
James, who started the match at San Siro, was substituted off in the second half after going down holding his knee following an awkward landing. The 22-year-old walked off the pitch and was seen in Milan a day later than his teammates which raised hopes that the injury might not be as bad as first feared.
With the winter World Cup just five weeks away, the rightback faces a race to be fit and Graham Potter must deal with a Chelsea squad missing one of their best performers over an intense period of time.
