Chelsea captain Reece James is expected to be out for around three months after knee surgery.
The 26-year-old sustained the injury in training last Friday before Chelsea's 5-1 home win over Bournemouth.
The England international is now set to be out until 2027.
Chelsea confirmed on Friday morning that James had undergone successful minor knee surgery.
James has suffered multiple injuries throughout his career, and this is the latest setback that will keep him out of home games against Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as the trip to Manchester City.

We all love James Reece as Chelsea fans.......... but with all due respect, we've had enough! I think this LEGEND should move to the Italian Serie A and join our former injury prone stars who have since gotten new leases of life there e.g. Ruben Loftus Cheek,Pulisic,Nkunku,π€π€π€π€π€

I think it's high time Chelsea sold this guy to Swindon π€¦π» if they won't sell him to Ipswich. I don't think he's a player they deserve,due to his injury proneness..
