Reece James Out For Four Weeks With Knee Injury
Chelsea defender Reece James is set to miss three to four weeks with a knee injury suffered during Tuesday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth.
It was his first game since his return from that injury.
On Wednesday, the 23-year-old posted on Twitter that 2022 had been “the toughest year to date”.
Immediately after Tuesday’s game, Chelsea manager Graham Potter said of the injury: “We hope it’s not as bad as it was and he can have a speedy recovery.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea have announced they have an agreement to sign Ivory Coast forward David Datro Fofana from Norwegian club Molde on 1 January.
Fofana, 20, scored 15 goals in 24 league games for Molde in 2022.
