Reece James

England could be left nervously waiting for a fitness update on Reece James after the full-back went off injured during Chelsea's Champions League tie ...

I really hope for his sake and the country's sake he is fine.' On Chelsea's win over AC Milan, which puts them top of their Champions League group, Potter said: 'To come here and win is certainly not easy that's for sure. The attack-minded full-back has established himself as one of England's defenders and is widely tipped to start for England in his favoured right-back position at the World Cup in Qatar 'For England he is vital. There were positive signs that James' injury isn't a serious one on Tuesday night. Gareth Southgate will be left sweating over the fitness of the defender ahead of the World Cup

The full-back was forced off in the Blues' Champions League win over AC Milan.

“We’re hoping Reece will be okay. “It was a big moment, we felt we could do enough with 11 v 11 but the referee’s made a decision and we have to get on with it.” “It’s difficult to quantify the referee’s attitude in this game, with seven other yellow cards as well as the red card.

Right-back cuts a dejected figure when trudging off midway through the second half at the San Siro with an apparent leg problem.

Milan went in search of an early response and they should have equalised just seven minutes later when Olivier Giroud found himself unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box. Further forward, Aubameyang, Mount and Raheem Sterling stretched the home defence and the trio combined to create the 34th minute second. The visitors didn’t always help themselves, conceding a number of needless free-kicks that allowed Milan to sustain periods of early pressure. It was to Milan’s credit that they continued to trouble Chelsea. Handed that opportunity, Chelsea never looked like squandering the advantage. The Blues claimed just one point from their opening two group games.

Reece James has picked up a knock against AC Milan and been brought off by Graham Potter to be replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Just as James did, he soldiered on for a few moments before eventually falling to the ground, signalling to be brought off. Ironically, Fofana was caught in an altercation with transfer target Rafael Leao. As it stands, the Three Lions are set to be without Kyle Walker, who has recently undergone surgery, while Trent Alexander-Arnold picked up a knock to his ankle in Liverpool's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. The defender fell to the ground clutching his knee following a collision with Theo Hernandez a few moments earlier. Fofana, who opened the scoring for Potter's side at Stamford Bridge, was brought off for Trevoh Chalobah.

Graham Potter has provided an update on Reece James' injury he picked up against AC Milan ahead of this weekend's clash with Aston Villa.

Mason Mount is just 23 and it's important to remember that when he is being judged as a senior player. His Chelsea managers value him even if you don't.

For all the frenzied talk of James Maddison – lauded as a maverick must-have by old men shouting at clouds who still daydream about Gazza – Mount is by far the more complete player. He has only improved in the games that have followed, with the double assist of the win over Wolves being followed by a 45-minute blitz in Milan that saw his run earn a penalty and the opening goal, and his touch set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Chelsea’s slick second. Tuchel did not mess Mount around and neither will Graham Potter, who has already started Mount in every Chelsea game he has managed. Instead of understanding noises about the inconsistency of young players, Mount is barracked as the average player who has been ‘found out’. He need to have worried because Tuchel valued Mount so greatly that only Antonio Rudiger and Edouard Mendy played more Chelsea minutes under his management. His experience relative to his age is immense and yet he is often judged on the former as a senior player who should never suffer blips of form.

"It was important to get the goal and the penalty and red card changes the completion of the game. Overall, we’re delighted with the three points, the clean sheet, and to score two goals too." While there was the threat of being pulled into a scruffy game, the Blues held their nerve and a huge win has seen them jump from bottom of their group to top in a matter of games.

Stuart Webber is in contention to take the role of sporting director at Chelsea - James is due to find out of the extent of the injury in the next 24 hours with the Chelsea defender set to find out the extent of the setback in the next 24 hours

Chelsea's Reece James has had an 'encouraging first assessment' on a knee injury picked up against AC Milan.The fullback was taken off injured i.

Like James, Alexander-Arnold also received positive news that he will only be out for a minimum of two weeks with an ankle injury, while Walker has undergone surgery on a groin issue. Only Raheem Sterling has contributed more than James’ two goals and two assists for Chelsea in all competitions this season, and the right-back is a key figure for England. The report adds James’ injury will be further assessed on Thursday before a diagnosis is made but the player is ‘optimistic of receiving good news.’

The club have also opened talks with a new head of recruitment as its restructuring continues under owners Boehly-Clearlake Capital.

They also signed Sam Edozie and Juan Larios from City in what is a clear switch to pursuing young emergent talent. Shields, 35, made his name at Crystal Palace spotting young players for the academy and was recruited by Manchester City in 2013 to give them an edge, in the south and London in particular, in scouting and signing young players. My job is to help him reach his potential and his potential is he could be a Chelsea legend. Having failed to land that deal the Boehly-Clearlake Capital consortium went after Shields instead and look likely to appoint him later this season. But for that to happen he has to be part of a successful team and that is what we are working towards.” He’s got so much to offer and can play in any game in the world.
