Top Reporter reveals when Reece James will be back after latest injury update
As we all know Ben Chilwell was going to be out for the rest of the season due to needing surgery on his ACL injury, was another top wing back going down injured.
But that is where we are at now after Reece James torn his hamstring in the game against Brighton in the week, to stack the problems up even higher for Thomas Tuchel.
A torn hamstring could be very serious and depending on the extent of it, it could be mild or really bad.
Luckily for Chelsea and James it looks like it wasn’t as serious as it could be, although he is still facing a period on the sidelines.
The good news is that he will not require surgery, according to the reliable Matt Law of The Telegraph.
He predicts that Chelsea will be without James for around 6-8 weeks, which is far from ideally but could have been a lot worse.
Good news for #cfc: Reece James does not require surgery. Bad news for #cfc: Reece James expected to miss 6-8 weeks with torn hamstring.
