Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says Reece James will learn from his non-playing yellow card.

James was booked during defeat to Aston Villa, despite being injured on the day. The captain was booked for abusing the match officials.

Pochettino said: "It's part of the game.

"He was not satisfied with a situation, and you also have to understand that he has been involved in the project from the start.

"He feels bad that he cannot help the team. He made a mistake. We all do, and he's upset about it.

"I don't think he will repeat that situation.

"I got a yellow card myself against Burnley and I'm 51 years old. Sometimes young kids make mistakes."
