James Doubtful For Chelsea’s Clash Against West Ham Today

By Daily sports on December 21, 2020

Chelsea are facing a dilemma with right-back Reece James after he pulled out of training due to a knee problem.

The 21-year-old had a scan on his knee at Chelsea’s training ground on Sunday morning which revealed that he has a fluid build-up in his joint.

The club is now weighing up the best course of action, though the injury is understood not to be too severe. 

James initially suffered the injury following a collision with Daniel Podence in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at Wolves on Tuesday. The England international trained with his club on Friday before complaining that his pain was increasing.

Chelsea now face a decision on whether to wait for the problem to settle or try to accelerate the recovery through a minor operation.

James will likely miss Monday’s match against West Ham, with Cesar Azpilicueta set to step in at right-back having lost his place to James despite being the club captain.

Meanwhile, Blues head coach Frank Lampard is expecting to welcome back both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Hakim Ziyech, who trained for the first time on Friday ahead of the London derby.

Hudson-Odoi, in particular, is confident that he can be ready for at least a bench role to help his side who have lost their last two games away at both Wolves and Everton. (Goal)
