Chelsea captain Reece James has been struck by another injury setback. Manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that the defender will undergo additional medical assessments to determine the severity of the issue.
Speaking to the press ahead of the Premier League clash with Bournemouth, Alonso revealed that James felt muscle discomfort during training on Friday:
Unfortunately, Reece picked up a slight injury yesterday, so let’s wait for the test results to assess the situation, the Blues boss stated in an interview with Sky Sports.
It was anticipated that James would return to the field after nursing a hamstring issue that had ruled him out of the previous league match against Brentford. However, this latest injury has kept him sidelined for the upcoming game against Bournemouth, and the timeline for his return now hinges entirely on the outcomes of the medical evaluation.
