Chelsea have been rocked by fitness news regarding one of their most important players.

Blues captain Reece James has picked up a fresh hamstring injury in training this week.

James, who was outstanding in a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at the weekend, may miss several weeks of action.

On Thursday, journalist Nathan Gissing reported that James is set for a scan on his hamstring later in the day.

The 23-year-old is facing an anxious wait to learn how long he may have to spend on the sidelines.

The Blues next take on West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday as they seek their first win of the season.
