Lauren James has been a crucial player for both Chelsea and England, and her calf injury marks a significant loss as she has been in extraordinary form.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor confirmed that James is expected to be sidelined for five to six weeks, highlighting the impact her absence will have on the team's performance.
Since the start of the season, only two players, Khadija Shaw and Lauren Hemp, have had more goal involvements than James in the Women's Super League.
Despite the loss of James, England manager Sarina Wiegman stated that she will not call up a replacement, trusting the depth of talent in the squad.
