Reece James will not be able to feature in Chelsea's Premier League match against Leeds United on Saturday due to a hamstring issue. The Blues' manager Graham Potter has revealed that the right-back was a doubt for this weekend's encounter during a press conference on Friday, but has now confirmed that he will not be involved. Potter further stated that there is a strong chance of James being available for their Champions League second leg tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. James has endured a difficult season injury-wise, missing the World Cup due to a knee injury sustained in October and then suffering a setback in his first game back. He has only started three of Chelsea's league games in 2021. Additionally, Mason Mount is absent this afternoon due to an abdominal injury, while Thiago Silva is likely to be out for up to six weeks due to a knee ligament issue. Potter is hoping that Wesley Fofana, who has had a challenging year with injuries, can fill in the gap.
