Reece James Injury: Withdraws from England squad

James (undisclosed) was selected by England to participate in forthcoming games against Wales and Latvia but ultimately won't be involved due to injury, the club announced. After the match, James stated "at the moment I'm close to my best," so there's reason to believe he won't miss time for Chelsea.

James is dealing with an apparent injury and ultimately won't join the England squad for international duty. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days in London to determine the extent of the issue, although he will have two weeks to recover before the clash against Nottingham Forest after the break. James has started four of the last five games of Chelsea and a potential absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Malo Gusto likely getting a larger role until he returns.
