Story updated
The story in brief
26-second readChelsea captain Reece James is expected to spend around three months on the sidelines after undergoing successful knee surgery, dealing another injury setback to the England international.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs , the 26-year-old is unlikely to return before January, although the recovery period remains an estimate rather than a confirmed timetable.
Chelsea are determined to avoid rushing their captain back into action, with his long-term fitness taking priority over an early return. James suffered the injury during training on October 9, just a day before Chelsea’s 5-1 Premier League victory over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
