- Chelsea captain Reece James is reportedly facing several weeks on the sidelines due to another hamstring injury, his tenth since late 2020.
- The right-back missed Monday's open training session, just two days after playing 90 minutes in Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United.
- This latest injury casts doubt on James's potential selection for England's World Cup squad this summer, having also missed the 2022 tournament due to injury.
- The injury comes at a critical time for Chelsea, who are preparing for their Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, trailing 5-2 from the first leg.
- While other players like Malo Gusto and Jamie Gittens remain out, Estevao Willian has returned to training ahead of the crucial PSG fixture.
