Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino expects Reece James to play again this season.

The club captain is recovering from a hamstring injury.

Pochettino said: “I think he will be involved before the end of the season.

“This is my hope, but for me, the priority is about him, to help him find his best again to feel solid and strong, and not have any doubt about going on the pitch again.

"It's really important and maybe the process is a little bit longer because I think we need to build his confidence and feel strong."
