“It getting worse than initially assumed” Update on Reece James injury, Chelsea and England are In danger as huge
Just two days remain until Chelsea’s match against Aston Villa, where Graham Potter will try to keep his team’s perfect record intact. The Blues will be under pressure to win this game as the heat is on Villa manager Steven Gerrard. Reece James, 22, will be hoping to be fit for selection after hobbling off against AC Milan on Tuesday due to an injury.
In other news, the Blues are rumored to be interested in midfielder Konrad Laimer of RB Leipzig. Laimer is the third member of the Bundesliga club to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, following Christopher Nkunku and Josko Gvardiol who are already on Chelsea’s radar. Laimer, who is expected to become a free agent next summer, is said to be interested in a move to the Premier League, according to BILD.
In light of the foregoing, this is the best spot to stay current on all Chelsea news throughout the day.
According to football.london, Reece James’ knee injury from Chelsea’s triumph against AC Milan is more serious than first thought, and the wingback now has to get better quickly in order to be ready for the World Cup in Qatar.

Following a rather harmless challenge on Theo Hernandez in the second half of Wednesday night’s 2-0 victory at San Siro, James was injured. On the field, the academy graduate needed medical attention but made an effort to play on. But Cesar Azpilicueta soon took his spot.
The injuries didn’t appear to be serious at first. James was able to stay in Milan on Wednesday to enjoy the city rather than flying back to Cobham right away for testing and treatment. He was also able to join his teammates on the field to celebrate after the final whistle.
