Will miss City game James (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Reece has been running today."

Impact James is running this week and continues to progress from his hamstring injury, but will not play Sunday, instead waiting another week. This leaves the club in a spot where they are without a starter for a fourth straight match, a tough loss against the second-placed team in the league. His return shouldn't be too far around the corner, likely needing another week or two to recover from his issues as he pushes for team training.

Impact James missed the 3-0 loss to PSG on Tuesday due to the injury, and while he's not dealing with a serious injury, the club will be extremely cautious with the recovery process considering James' lengthy injury history.

Suffers hamstring injury James has sustained a hamstring injury and could be sidelined for several weeks, according to TheAthletic.

Impact James was absent from training Monday due to a hamstring injury ahead of the Champions League return leg against PSG and could be sidelined for several weeks. The versatile defender is an undisputed starter, whether at right-back or in midfield thanks to his passing quality in open play and on set pieces, making his absence a major blow for the Blues in the upcoming matches. Andrey Santos is likely to start in midfield in his place while Malo Gusto would occupy the right-back role.

Eight crosses in 1-1 draw James registered eight crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.

This was the sixth time this year that he has attempted eight crosses, but this is the first time that he has failed to complete any when attempting eight or more. He is Chelsea's top set-piece taker, two ahead of Pedro Neto having taken five corners in this match.
