Chelsea captain Reece James has flown to Doha, Qatar as part of his rehabilitation.

James is recovering from his latest hamstring injury, which he sustained in December.

Per The Mail, club insiders have played down any issues with the trip to Doha.

James is said to have received prior approval from the club, who were given ample notice.

The 24-year-old does want to be back before the season ends, but is taking it very slow.

Neither James nor the club want to rush the process of having him back on the field.
