Chelsea captain Reece James has suffered another injury setback, this time a hamstring strain, which will rule him out of Saturday’s match against Leicester City.
In a news conference on Thursday, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed the news, revealing that the 24-year-old defender will not be available for the upcoming fixture.
James, who underwent hamstring surgery last season in an attempt to recover from a series of injuries, had just returned to action last month.
When James played against Liverpool in October, it marked 562 days since he last completed a full 90 minutes in a Premier League match.
