Chelsea Captain Reece James Suffers Another Injury

The international break is over, and club football is back. Chelsea will face Leicester in the next Premier League round, but their captain will miss the game.

Details: As Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca explained, the English defender experienced some minor discomfort, and the club does not want to take risks with James for this match. Therefore, he will not feature against Leicester.

Due to recurring injuries last season, Reece James managed to play only 10 Premier League games. This season, he has yet to make an appearance.

Currently, Chelsea sit third in the Premier League table, with 19 points from their first 11 matches. In the previous round, they drew 1-1 with Arsenal.

Reminder: Bournemouth defender Illya Zabarnyi, since his move from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023, has become one of the most reliable center-backs in the Premier League. The Ukrainian international has reportedly attracted Chelsea's attention.
