BREAKING: Chelsea star suffers sudden injury ahead of pre-season tour
According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea right-back Reece James has had a precautionary scan on his knee after experiencing pre-kick-off pain before the season kicked off earlier this week
Chelsea are expecting positive news after the scan, taking no risks on a player who has endured a torrid 12 months of injury problems.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to make James a priority in his plans and hopes he can build his fitness with warm-up games against Wrexham, Brighton, Fulham and Newcastle.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are pursuing Lyon star Ryan Cherkey, who has been touted as the next Eden Hazard, according to reports cut through the Evening Standard.
The report also claims that Lyon want an additional £40m for the young winger, a fee the Blues are yet to pay.
However, Chelsea are reportedly ahead of AC Milan in negotiations to land Czerki.
