Reece James limped off during Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Tuesday due to fears of a repeat of the knee injury that kept him out of the World Cup.
When England’s right back was sent off at Stamford Bridge after 53 minutes, he appeared to be crying.
Graham Potter, the manager of Chelsea, stated, “It’s really too early, but it’s the same area, so we are concerned and we’ll have to see over the next 24-48 hours.”
Due to a knee injury, James was not included in England’s World Cup squad in October. In addition, it’s possible that he appeared once more in his first competitive game since his return.
Potter stated, “We will have to find out the extent and keep our fingers crossed.” There, he had an experience.” Naturally, his absence from the World Cup has deeply disappointed him. It gave him an extreme blow. Today was clear that he is good and valuable to the group.
Potter stated that James would play for sixty minutes. The victory brought Chelsea’s three-game losing streak to an end. The London club finished eighth in the Premier League thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Mason Mount in the first half.
Chelsea was winless in its previous five league games and had lost four of its previous five games in all competitions prior to the World Cup break.
Potter had to win because, for only the second time in 22 seasons, his team was outside the top six at Christmas.
