"With a hamstring injury, it is never great and for Reece we can hopefully get him scanned, find out the full extent and then we will know more because we know how important he is and what a leader he is in the group. He felt something in his hamstring at the end of the game against Newcastle. It's really frustrating and a disappointing one for us."
"It could be that James misses a number of weeks. James has largely enjoyed an injury-free season until now after being carefully managed by Chelsea following several disrupted campaigns in recent years. On Friday, he signed a new six-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2032."
Chelsea defender Reece James suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's 1-0 Premier League defeat to Newcastle and will miss the Champions League home match against Paris Saint-Germain following their 5-2 first-leg loss in France. Head coach Liam Rosenior confirmed James could be sidelined for several weeks, potentially affecting his availability for England internationals announced Friday. The 26-year-old captain, who recently signed a new six-year contract through 2032, has largely remained injury-free this season after careful management. Chelsea also face absences from Jamie Gittens, Filip Jorgensen, and Levi Colwill, though Estevao Willian returned to training and Pedro Neto is eligible to play.
