Blue day for the Blues: Reece James suffers another injury setback

Reece James, one of Chelsea’s most influential players, will miss his team’s Premier League trip to Carrow Road with a fresh injury layoff. The attacking-minded defender had only returned to the team following two months on the sidelines but after just one match played he’s back in the treatment room.

We need examination. We thought he could be on the pitch today but no. He needs further examination.”Thursday, 22.30: (11.0) Norwich (5.20) Chelsea (1.30)Chelsea will probably be able to overcome the Premier League bottom team even without James, but it’s the timing of the injury that’s particularly frustrating. James scored a great goal and delivered an all-action performance as Chelsea hammered Burnley on his comeback last weekend. Unfortunately for the 22-year-old London-born player, his return to full fitness would have to be pushed back a little more.
