Reece James has returned early from international duty with England ‘for assessment on an ongoing issue’ according to the FA.
The Chelsea full-back has been a standout player for the Blues in a very disappointing season but has now been handed another injury setback.
The English player has had a very unfortunate season so far missing almost half of his club games this season, much to the disappointment of Graham Potter who has struggled without him.
