Chelsea fullback Reece James' season is over.

The England defender has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury - as has Blues teammate Mason Mount.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said: "Reece James will be unavailable for the rest of the season, Mason Mount the same.

"Reece had a hamstring injury in the midweek game," added Lampard. "He got through it but then had a scan and he's out.

"Mason has been carrying a pelvic injury for a while. It predates myself and he has been trying typically but he will have minor surgery, then a four-week recovery.

"He [Mount] might make the last match but that's unlikely, which is obviously disappointing for us."
