Reece James back on Chelsea sidelines after sustaining new hamstring injury
Blues’ club captain has history of hamstring issuesEnzo Maresca unsure on time frame for recovery
Reece James has sustained another hamstring injury and will miss Chelsea’s Premier League visit to Leicester on Saturday, with his manager, Enzo Maresca, unsure as to the time frame on the recovery.
James felt the problem in training on Tuesday and it is the latest blow for the captain, who underwent hamstring surgery in December which ruled him out until the final few games of last season. He injured a hamstring again on Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the United States and played his first match of the campaign at Liverpool on 20 October.
