Chelsea fullback James breaks silence on injury setback

Chelsea fullback Reece James is hopeful his injury suffered last night isn't serious.

James was forced off midway through Chelsea's 2-0 win over AC Milan in the Champions League, shaking his head as he was substituted.

Speaking after the game, manager Graham Potter outlined the next few days as both Chelsea and England wait to discover the extent of the injury.

"We're hoping Reece will be OK. It will be 24, 48 hours to find out, so it's too early to give you anything more than that," said Potter.

Tweeting after the game, James posted: "Fingers crossed it's not a bad one. Love for all the messages, I appreciate you all."
