"Reece James is an injury doubt for Chelsea (Image credit: Getty Images) The Blues have several injury issues ahead of their crucial Premier League clash with Brentford at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has a strong squad to work with but could be without Cole Palmer, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens for his first Premier League match. There is also concern around Reece James as Chelsea look to climb above Brentford and push towards the top four."
""We have been really unfortunate, Rosenior told Sky Sports before the Arsenal game. Reece took a knock on his hip, so was not quite ready for this one. In a later press conference, Rosenior said: "Reece and Cole, both of them are training today, so we just need to assess them after the session and make sure that they come through all of the protocols that they need to come through. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. It would be great to have them back in the squad [for the weekend]. At the moment, it looks like they could be [involved].""
